Is the military spying upon Sen. Barack Obama ?

[EVDebs]

If they did a number on Dr Martin Luther King, Jr., via military intelligence using domestic 'MIG's (military intelligence groups) during the Vietnam war...don't you think they'd be even more so in use NOW ?

""But the Bob Kennedy who was killed in '68, I think was a very different person. I regard it as one of my sadnesses that I did not see him at the end. Because he had made an overture to Martin to run as a Vice-Presidential candidate with him. It was not generally known. But when he made his announcement, March I guess it was 15th or 16th, he made contact with Martin and I'm sure that contact was known.""--

Hoover and the military must have blown a gasket at this tidbit. Now, investigate JFK's NSAM 263 and LBJ's immediate reversal (NSAM 273) and you can see that being against the Vietnam occupation then, as now, can result in direct military action against you.

REPEATING PAST MISTAKES ?

""The military’s penchant for collecting domestic intelligence is disturbing — but familiar — to Christopher Pyle, a former Army intelligence officer.

“Some people never learn,” he says. During the Vietnam War, Pyle blew the whistle on the Defense Department for monitoring and infiltrating anti-war and civil rights protests when he published an article in the Washington Monthly in January 1970.

The public was outraged and a lengthy congressional investigation followed that revealed that the military had conducted investigations on at least 100,000 American citizens. Pyle got more than 100 military agents to testify that they had been ordered to spy on U.S. citizens — many of them anti-war protestors and civil rights advocates. In the wake of the investigations, Pyle helped Congress write a law placing new limits on military spying inside the U.S.

But Pyle, now a professor at Mt. Holyoke College in Massachusetts, says some of the information in the database suggests the military may be dangerously close to repeating its past mistakes.

“The documents tell me that military intelligence is back conducting investigations and maintaining records on civilian political activity. The military made promises that it would not do this again,” he says.""

1. Yes, the military or wherever they currently reside.

2. Yes, and probably Sen. Clinton, also., I'd bet. nt
