The American Civil Liberties Union has launched a nationwide effort to expose how the FBI has resumed spying on environmental, anti-war, political and religious groups. The ACLU has filed Freedom of Information Act requests in 10 states and the District of Columbia in an effort to force the FBI to hand over files on targeted groups and individuals. The ACLU said it has evidence that the government has infiltrated student peace activists; gathered files on Americans Friends Service Committee anti-war events; interrogated animal rights activists in their homes; sent undercover agents to National Lawyers Guild meetings; and aggressively questioned Muslims and Arabs on the basis of religion or national origin rather than suspicion of wrongdoing.
