i'm NOT a threat

or a terrorist, or a subversive or a traitor (like SOME i could mention), or suspicious or a liar or a spy or even a quaker (although i do live NEAR a quaker meeting house). i don't own a gun or a weapon of any kind (well i do own kitchen cutlery, but i use it for that, COOKING). what i AM is OPPOSED TO THIS SENSELESS AND UNJUSTIFIED WAR. i have this very small blog that only a few people visit from time to time. YET i have seen the pentagon has visited it. if y'all have any questions for me, just ask. if i can, i WILL answer. (the ONLY time i have been on a military base is for my ex-boss' funeral. it was pre-9/11 but NO ONE stopped our car as we entered nor were we stopped anywhere else along the way.)

Secret database obtained by NBC News tracks ‘suspicious’ domestic groups

WASHINGTON - 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.”
The Defense Department document is the first inside look at how the U.S. military has stepped up intelligence collection inside this country since 9/11, which now includes the monitoring of peaceful anti-war and counter-military recruitment groups. ...............
