    Is the Pentagon spying on Americans?
    Secret database obtained by NBC News tracks ‘su ious’ domestic groups
    Lisa Myers
    Senior investigative correspondent


    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 do ent obtained by NBC News lists the Lake Worth meeting as a “threat” and one of more than 1,500 “su ious 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 do ent 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.

    They don't call themselves Quakers, they call themselves "Friends."

    Sounds su ious. With whom are they "friends?" Al-Qaeda, perhaps?

    DIA uses both the FBI and CIA databases and sometimes state and local as well as interpol and other intel agencies. They don't have a DB for every person. CIA and FBI do. My file is in both with fingerprints since you have do a FBI fingerprint and background check to get handgun license. Some people just have a 1 page.. others can have a series of special flags and loads of .

    It's somewhat controlled.. you would really have to piss off the wrong people / person to get fried because of the files. These files help protect you and your family from criminals. It would really suck without national crime and intel DB's when trying to figure our who is RED and who is BLUE.
