Via MSNBC (AP).

The American Civil Liberties Union released a compilation of covert
government surveillance of war protesters and other political activists
in California, decrying it as evidence of a “greater expansion of
government power and the abuse of power” since the 2001 terrorist attacks.

The ACLU’s Northern California branch said the findings show oversight
of law-enforcement and intelligence agencies is too weak and called for
the state to create a new watchdog over their activities.
