=v= So, despite the deep concern of Judith Miller that their
publication would aid and abet the "co-mingled threat" of
terrorists, anarchists, and jaywalkers, the NYPD has been
compelled to release some of its secret internal memos about
their shenanigans during the 2004 RNC in NYC. If you feel
like downloading 600 pages of scanned documents, get 'em here:

FBI reports: Anarchists Plan to Hold Violent Protests in NYC
on August 27, 2004
o During a North American anarchist meeting being held in
Athens, Ohio, earlier this month, an FBI contact overheard
unidentified individuals state that Friday, August 27, 2004
at 1900, is "Critical Mass Day."
Yep, the FBI had to go all the way to some little college town
in Ohio, no doubt wearing black clothes to blend in, just to
find out that Critical Mass is the last Friday of the month.
There's just not getting anything past those vigilant eyes!

What Mr. Cohen called the "co-mingled threat" of "terrorism,
anarchist violence and unlawful civil disobedience" drove both
the surveillance program and the policies of mass arrests and
blanket fingerprinting.
