Bush’s FBI Investigating Americans Feeding Poor Instead of Terrorists

Under the Bush Administration, the FBI is spending our tax dollars and wasting agents who could be protecting us from terrorists instead gathering information on Americans: antiwar and environmental protesters, and activists who feed vegetarian meals to the homeless, the agency's internal memos show.

"They don't know where Osama bin Laden is, but they're spending money watching people like me," environmental activist Kirsten Atkins told the Los Angeles Times.

Atkins' license plate number showed up in an FBI terrorism file after she attended a protest against the lumber industry in Colorado Springs in 2002.

Internal FBI memos recently released show that under Bush they are focused on investigating environmentally concerned Americans, citizens critical of the Iraq War and good Samaritans feeding the poor.

Don't you feel safer?

Update: The Pentagon under Bush has been keeping tabs on Americans who disagree with Bush’s decision to invade Iraq. The Bush Administration has been spending our tax dollars and using our men and women in uniform to spy on Americans including Quakers, a Christian denomination dedicated to peace – which Jesus advocated (“Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called children of God”). Bush is using not only the FBI and the NSA to spy on Americans who disagree with him, but also the United States Armed Forces.
