Anti-war rallies to be reclassified as terrorist activity.
Anti-war protesters who met in November to talk about the nonviolent philosophies of Mahatma Gandhi and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr began receiving subpoenas from the United States attorney's office last week seeking details about the event’s sponsor, its membership list, its annual reports, its office location, and the event itself.
Confirming the investigation and reacting to criticisms about the infringement of civil liberties, prosecutors in the United States attorney's office for the southern district of Iowa took the unusual step of issuing a confirmation of the investigation.
"The United States attorney's office does not prosecute persons peacefully and lawfully engaged in rallies which are conducted under the protection of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States," a written statement issued by the prosecutor, Stephen Patrick O'Meara, said. “However anyone whimpering on about how bad war is, or how we should just all live peacefully and stop killing each other can expect the full force if the state to come down upon them with the burning fury of Armageddon.”
