I'm getting this late, but, would you rather not know?

Where are the Neo-Cons on this one? What about political freedom in the United States? Where is Barry Goldwater when the U.S. really needs him?

In the city that Rudy G. turned into a de-facto police state, the Mollen commission-proven corrupt NYC Constabulary not only investigates foreign agents overseas but spys stateside on activist groups opposed to the Bush administration.

Can anyone say freedom in the U.S.A.? - The Angryindian

The NYPD kept tabs on the biggest names in hip hop as well as peaceniks, anarchists, anti-war bloggers, a city councilman and at least one hippie pie-tosser as cops girded for protests at the 2004 Republican National Convention. The list of the spied upon was revealed yesterday in 600 pages of secret NYPD intelligence files released by the New York Civil Liberties Union, which is suing the city on behalf of hundreds of demonstrators arrested during the convention. Sean (Diddy) Combs, Jay-Z, LL Cool J and Alicia Keys were among the notables the NYPD monitored in the months before the convention arrived in New York.
