Please forward.

Friends,
After much legal wrangling, 600 pages of NYPD RNC Intelligence documents
have been unsealed. We have begun the process of posting the documents to
the I-Witness Video website. Here's the link to the blog page.

Not "Top Secret" Just "Cop Secret"
NYPD RNC Intelligence Documents Revealed

The documents themselves indicate an extraordinary interest by the police
in spying on quite ordinary First-Amendment style expression. The NYPD
Intelligence Division monitored, among others, peace groups, filmmakers
and family members of September 11th victims. Besides spying on
individuals and groups, the intelligence cops seemed to have absorbed and
collated some of the most macabre urban legends about demonstrators
without a moment's hesitation.

As I send out this e-mail, we have posted the entire 600 pages as a very
large (48 megabyte) PDF document. If you have broadband access, you should
be able to download it without too much trouble. Later on today, we will
make the individual document pages accessible on the website for paging
through in your browser.

As always, we would love to hear your feedback.
