Attorney General John Ashcroft is reportedly considering a plan to relax restrictions
on the FBI's ability to spy on domestic organizations, a move that would loosen some
of the most fundamental protections against FBI misconduct and threaten
constitutionally protected advocacy of unpopular ideas and political dissent.
The domestic spying restrictions were originally imposed in the 1970's after the
country learned of the FBI's widespread, unchecked and politically motivated domestic
surveillance of such figures as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The FBI's campaign against
Dr. King included tactics such as planting bugs in hotel rooms and threats to release
the recordings, all done without evidence of criminal activity.
Current domestic guidelines already provide broad authority to conduct investigations,
but we must not allow the war on terrorism to permanently expand unchecked government
power.
