Police fork over secret RNC documents that make it plain there's plenty more

The NYPD's RNC spying controversy can't come in from the cold just yet.

Some 600 pages of previously secret police records at the center of a months-long legal tug-of-war between the city and the New York Civil Liberties Union were finally made public last week, but now the Voice has learned that the city is holding back yet another set of secret documents regarding the police department's widespread intelligence-gathering in anticipation of the 2004 Republican National Convention.

............

NYCLU executive legal director Christopher Dunn tells the Voice that the new documents (which he hasn't seen but were described by Cohen during his sealed deposition) reportedly detail "a separate part of the (intelligence-gathering) operation," which, Dunn says, "many people are going to find to be more troubling than what has been disclosed so far."

.............

The documents that were released last week provide a voluminous, if somewhat vague, year-long diary of the planning and movements undertaken by protest organizations from around the country leading up to the convention.
