Domestic Spying Against a Credible Threat

FTR, I don't have a beef against the domestic surveillance of credible threats to national security when overseen by a court (even a ridiculous mockup like FISA).

I don't think this quite qualifies and now I have genuine questions about what the president was trying to accomplish with his off the books 'sneak and peek'

I mean... Quakers? Fucking Quakers?

A year ago, at a Quaker Meeting House in Lake Worth, Fla., a small group of activists met to plan a protest of military recruiting at local high schools. What they didn't know was that their meeting had come to the attention of the U.S. military.
A secret 400-page Defense Department document obtained by NBC News lists the Lake Worth meeting as a “threat” and one of more than 1,500 “suspicious incidents” across the country over a recent 10-month period.
“This peaceful, educationally oriented group being a threat is incredible,” says Evy Grachow, a member of the Florida group called The Truth Project.
“This is incredible,” adds group member Rich Hersh. “It's an example of paranoia by our government,” he says. “We're not doing anything illegal.”

Jesus McFuck.

Quakers!
