Antiwar.com Website Sues FBI over Agency Monitoring

HeadlineMay 24, 2013

In another press freedom case, the American Civil Liberties Union has sued the FBI on behalf of the editors of the website Antiwar.com. Once-secret documents show an FBI analyst had recommended opening an investigation and continued FBI monitoring of Antiwar.com after the site published a terrorist suspect list they had found using a Google search. The editors of Antiwar.com are asking the FBI to turn over relevant documents and to stop collecting records of their constitutionally protected speech.
