Although most of my readers can clearly see the connection between civil liberties issues and the health of civil society organizations, I do get a fair amount of email arguing that these have nothing to do with each other and I should restrict myself to covering the latter. Well, this news should make the connection pretty obvious. The American Civil Liberties Union has evidence that the FBI and local police, working through a so-called Joint Terrorism Task Forces, are spying on environmental, anti-war, political, and faith-based groups. If you haven't already answered this question, it might be time to decide what your organization is doing to protect itself and its partners.
