Political groups in US were spyed on

From Newsweek:

A Pentagon memo obtained by NEWSWEEK shows that the deputy Defense secretary now acknowledges that some TALON reports may have contained information on U.S. citizens and groups that never should have been retained. The number of reports with names of U.S. persons could be in the thousands, says a senior Pentagon official who asked not be named because of the sensitivity of the subject.

In December, NBC News obtained a 400-page compilation of reports that detailed a portion of TALON's surveillance efforts. It showed the unit had collected information on nearly four dozen antiwar meetings or protests, including one at a Quaker meetinghouse in Lake Worth, Fla., and a Students Against War demonstration at a military recruiting fair at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

So now the Bush administration is spying on those opposed to the Iraq war. It's looking more and more like what went on during the Nixon administration. The question is, are Republicans going to put politics above their country and continue to be appologists for Bush or are they going to stand up for the Constitution and put a stop to this nonsense?
