TO: ACLU Action Network Members FR: Jared Feuer, Internet Organizer DT: January 24, 2002 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. Take Action!
