(APN) ATLANTA--"Don’t they have anything to do? I am just a mom of a teenage son. I just don’t want my son or anyone else go to a stupid war," Susan Keith told Atlanta Progressive News.

Last week, Keith learned the Pentagon has been spying on her protests against public schools participating in military recruitment.

"I think it is a big waste of our money and time to be spying on citizens," Keith said.

She said she doesn’t know why the government would see their protest as a threat, "unless they thought we were going to do some terrorist activity, but we’re the Peace coalition."

On December 14th, 2005, NBC released a report concerning a secret 400 page Pentagon document they obtained listing more than 1,500 "suspicious incidents" across the country. In a recent span of 10 months, these incidents had all been under surveillance by the Pentagon.

Among the few pages of the database published by NBC–the rest of the pages have not been released--was a meeting and protest held by the Georgia Peace and Justice Coalition (GPJC) in Atlanta.

The document listed the organization’s open monthly meeting held on March 28, 2005 as a "threat."
