Tim The current regime just gets better and better all the time, doesn't it? They were doing this crap 4 years ago. Can only imagine what's going down these days.... Perhaps you can enlighten us...when did pacificism become a crime?

According to a memo written in 2002, the FBI launched a classified investigation into the activities of Pittsburgh's Thomas Merton Center after becoming concerned that the group held "daily leaflet distribution activities in downtown Pittsburgh and [was] currently focused on its opposition to the potential war on Iraq." The memo aimed to summarize the investigation's results. It identifies the group as "a left-wing organization advocating, among many political causes, pacifism."
