Funniest Shit Ever

Maryland is embroiled in a “scandal” because state troopers were sent out to peace activist groups as COINTELPRO to monitor and disrupt their operations. Now they’ve been brought to light - for whatever reason - and are getting a good old-fashioned meaningless slap on the wrist:

Col. Terrence B. Sheridan, the current state police superintendent, said his agency plans to mail certified letters to 53 individuals mistakenly identified as terrorists in a database so they can review their files and request to be purged from the system.

Of course, asking to be removed from that list probably gets you put onto another much worse list, but whatever!

    A terrorist surveillance program instituted by the Bush administration allows the intelligence community to monitor phone calls between the United States and overseas without a court order — as long as one party to the call is a terror suspect.
