AMERICAblog: Pentagon sees G/L/B student groups as 'credible threat'
by logickal at 2:50 pm EST, Dec 20, 2005

According to recent press reports, Pentagon officials have been spying on what they call "suspicious" meetings by civilian groups, including student groups opposed to the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" ban on lesbian, gay and bisexual military personnel. The story, first reported by Lisa Myers and NBC News last week, noted that Pentagon investigators had records pertaining to April protests at the State University of New York at Albany and William Patterson College in New Jersey. A February protest at NYU was also listed, along with the law school's LGBT advocacy group OUTlaw, which was classified as "possibly violent" by the Pentagon. A UC-Santa Cruz "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" protest, which included a gay kiss-in, was labeled as a "credible threat" of terrorism.

Can we all agree that we've entered Bizarroworld now?

Why does this surprise anyone? It should be outrageous and during the 50's it barely made it into outrageous. Now, with our cynical selves, it barely rates as news.
