It's an article about how the FBI is investigating (intimidating) anyone that just might protest at the republican convention. An Orwellian big brother kind of thing.
Nixon was a known paranoid (I hear Shrub is acting that way these days, too) and J. Edgar Hoover was in charge of the FBI. When he wasn't cross dressing he was compiling dossiers on anyone he thought just might be a possible problem. Thousands of them.
And now we have a "patriot act." What this boils down to is if you don't agree with me, you're not a patriot, so therefore you might be a traitor. We're only a hair away from detaining lots of folks on "suspicion"
And to think I used to laugh at conspiracy theorists.
