Pentagon Spied On Gays Because We’re Soooo Threatening

George Bush Kiss

Seems like the Pentagon spied on several LGTB groups after 9/11, even going so far as to call a University of California protest against the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy - where students protested with a “gay kissing” demonstration – a “credible threat."

No word on why the Military considered the pouty lipped protestors a threat, but the news comes on the heels of recent acknowledgements by Dubya that he spied on plenty of other Americans over the last few years.

NBC News was able to obtain only eight pages of the 400-page report, but that small portion showed that Pentagon investigators kept tabs on April protests at the University of California, Santa Cruz; State University of New York at Albany; and William Patterson College in New Jersey. A February protest at NYU was also listed, along with the law school's gay advocacy group OUTlaw, and was classified as "possibly violent."

And people wonder why Osama bin Laden got away.

U.S. military appears to be spying on "don't ask, don't tell" protests
