Presidential Inauguration Security Information Turned Over to Anti-American, Terrorist-linked Group

HT to Citizen Smash - The Indepundit.

Now this is just OUTRAGEOUS! Where the hell does this judge keep her head?

As the nation's capital prepares itself for the presidential inauguration by going into lockdown mode and placing portable Stinger missile launchers throughout the city, Americans may be stunned to learn that the District of Columbia has been forced by a federal judge to hand over intelligence data on police tactics, training, and strategies from the last inauguration to an organization with documented ties to terrorist groups and Saddam Hussein.

They've handed the information over to the International Action Center.

Despite its vocal support of and connections to terrorist groups, the IAC has succeeded in obtaining, by court order, large amounts of security data related to D.C. police operations and the presidential inauguration.

According to court documents, D.C. has already provided "thousands of pages of documents," 38 videotapes and numerous photographs and audiotapes related to D.C. police tactics, training and planning and the 2001 presidential inauguration

The information provided by the D.C. Metro Police Department by court order to the IAC so far includes:

• Lesson plans and handbooks on use of aerosol sprays, force and tactical batons;
• Management of Mass Demonstrations, Civil Disturbance Units training documents;

• Metro Police Department (MPD) instruction on use of firearms and other service weapons;

• Portions of Operations Plan, Parade Manual and Civil Disturbance Unit Response Plan for the 54th Inauguration of the President of the United States;

• All rooftop and street-level surveillance videotapes of the presidential inauguration;

• Redacted logs from the Synchronized Operations Command Center and the Running Resume for the Inauguration Day intelligence teams; and

• The identification of all plainclothes MPD officers who were detailed to intelligence teams for the Inauguration.

The plainclothes intelligence officers identified by name were stationed at various locations along and near the presidential parade route in order to monitor the crowds and to report any information heard or observed concerning plans, attempts or actions that might disrupt Inaugural events and/or violate the law and to take law enforcement action, if needed.

I'm really suspicious of the naming of the MPD officers. I thought that was specifically protected by federal law. The names of such would be totally irrelevant and would require their protection by not allowing them to release those names to a non-governmental agency.

I find it very suspect that this information was handed over, irrelevant of the merits of their case regarding the government. This judge is endangering other peoples civil rights in order to forward some suspicious groups itinerary.

Read the article, its upsetting.
