and who is named in the documents, said the records show the federal
investigation was a waste of time and taxpayer money."There's no
evidence presented in hundreds of pages that anybody with either the
University of Iowa Antiwar Committee or the Wild Rose collective had
any plans for anything other than a nonviolent, if confrontational,
direct action street protest at the 2008 Republican National
Convention," Goodner said. Most of the Iowa City activists did not
attend the Democratic convention in Denver.... Goodner said he
obtained and released the FBI records because he thought the public
had a right to know about the extent to which the government was
spying on its own citizens. He described the surveillance in Iowa City
as overly broad, unnecessary and expensive.
An excerpt from the below article. David Goodner is a member of the
DMCW community.

Des Moine Register
Iowa activists drew extensive FBI scrutiny
By WILLIAM PETROSKI bpetroski@dmreg.com
The FBI's surveillance of a protest group in Iowa City prior to the
Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., two years ago was
far more extensive than initially reported, newly obtained FBI
documents show.
Agents staked out the homes of political activists, secretly
photographed and shot video of them, pored through their garbage, and
studied their cell phone and motor vehicle records, according to
records detailing the FBI's counterterrorism investigation.
Federal agents and other law enforcement officers also watched and
documented the protesters' comings and goings at such places as the
Iowa City Public Library; the New Pioneer Co-op natural foods store;
the Red Avocado restaurant and the Deadwood Tavern; and the Wesley
Center campus ministry of the United Methodist Church.

Pro-Obama lefties get slapped down – by the FBI
by Justin Raimondo, September 27, 2010
FBI raids on six houses in Minneapolis and Chicago, including the office of the Minneapolis Antiwar Committee, have the antiwar movement – and the left in general – in an uproar. Agents came barging into homes guns drawn, kicking down doors and smashing furniture, armed with search warrants. The warrants described, in suitably vague terms, allegations of “material support for terrorism.” No arrests were made, although a number of individual activists were served with subpoenas demanding their appearance before a grand jury. Computers, documents, phones, and other materials were carted away by burly FBI agents, who appeared at 7 a.m. sharp, locked and loaded.
Let the frame-ups begin!

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Iowa peace activists held a rally in downtown Des Moines on Thursday to protest the Federal Bureau of Investigation's surveillance of Iowans.
New FBI documents released last week showed extensive surveillance of Iowa City protest groups before the 2008 Republican National Convention in Minnesota. The documents showed political activists were secretly photographed and FBI agents staked out their homes. FBI counter terrorism records also show agents went through activists' garbage, cell phone and motor vehicle records.
