WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The FBI has collected at least 3,500 pages of internal documents
in the past several years on a handful of civil rights and anti-war groups in
what the groups charge is an attempt to stifle political opposition to the Bush
administration.
The FBI has in its files 1,173 pages of internal documents on the American Civil Liberties Union and 2,383 pages on Greenpeace, the Justice Department disclosed in a court filing this month in Washington.
The filing came as part of a lawsuit brought by groups that claim the FBI has engaged in a pattern of surveillance against critics of the administration.
