In Maryland, more details have been released about the state police spying on peace groups and anti-death penalty activists. Late last week, two Catholic nuns, Sister Carol Gilbert and Sister Ardeth Platte, learned they were among the fifty-three activists classified as terrorists who had their names entered into a federal terrorism database. The two nuns are longtime peace activists. They recently served time in prison for trespassing onto a military base and pouring blood onto a nuclear missile silo. Sister Carol Gilbert said, “There is no way that we ever want to be identified as terrorists. We are nonviolent. We are faith-based.”
