No, I'm saying that the Secret Police had massive surveillance on a peacenik. That's an example of the privacy invasions you spoke of. Tom

What's the problem or danger with a peaceful person like that? >Would have to say, was surprised the fbi had a file on Kerry. Rather ho-hum to waste time investigating him.

Would have to say, was surprised the fbi had a file on Kerry. Rather ho-hum to waste time investigating him. I just read that Nixon was extremely threatened by Kerry. The article said that Nixon watched the election returns looking to see if Kerry would lose his first election and was gleeful when he did. These guys have a tenuous grasp on democracy and free expression; to whit, the threat R. Armitage made to Australia this past weekend. ted
