Greenpeace Spied On!

You can trust Greenpeace to stand up to the powerful. But sometimes we
pay a price. Over the years, Greenpeace has been the subject of FBI
spying and a politically motivated IRS audit, prosecuted for
"sailor-mongering" by the Bush administration and even had one of its
ships bombed by the French government. Now comes breaking news that
major corporations have used agents to spy on Greenpeace.

In an article, entitled "Cops and Former Secret Service Agents Ran
Black Ops on Green Groups," Mother Jones magazine revealed today that
a security firm run by former Secret Service agents spied on
Greenpeace and other environmental organizations at the behest of
several large corporations from the late 1990s through at least 2000.

"Never doubt that a group of thoughtful committed citizens can
change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
