      <p>Antiwar.com is taking the FBI to court.</p>
      <p>The website’s founder and managing editor Eric Garris, along
        with longtime editorial director Justin Raimondo, filed a

      <p>Antiwar.com says this is one more example of post-9/11

      <p>“<strong>Freedom of the press is a cornerstone of our
          democracy, whether it’s AP or Antiwar.com</strong>,” said
        Julia Harumi Mass, staff attorney for the <strong>American
          Civil Liberties Union</strong> of Northern California, which
        is representing Antiwar.com in the case. “<strong>FBI
          surveillance of news organizations interferes with
          journalists’ ability to do their jobs as watchdogs that hold
          the government accountable</strong>.”</p>
      <p>The suit was filed on Tuesday at the United States District
        Court, Northern District of California, San Francisco Division.
        Both Garris and Raimondo live and work in the San Francisco Bay
        area.</p>
      <p>According to the suit, the ACLU has made several futile
        attempts to obtain the FBI files since a reader alerted Garris
        and Raimondo to <a target="_blank" title="this lengthy FBI

          lengthy FBI memo</a> in 2011. The details in question begin at
        page 62 of the heavily redacted 94-page document. It’s clear
        from these documents, the suit alleges, that the FBI has files
        on Garris and Raimondo, and at one point the FBI agent writing
        the April 30, 2004 memo on Antiwar.com recommends further
        monitoring of the website in the form of opening a “preliminary
        investigation …to determine if [redaction] are engaging in, or
        have engaged in, activities which constitute a threat to
        national security.”</p>
      <p>“On one hand <strong>it seemed almost funny that we would be
          considered a threat to national security, but it’s very scary,
          because what we are engaging in is free speech, and free
          speech by ordinary citizens and journalists is now being
          considered a threat to national security and they don’t have
          to prove it because the government has the ability to suppress
          information and not disclose any of their activities</strong>
        – as witnessed with what is going on now at the AP and other
        things,” said Garris.</p>
      <p>“<strong>The government’s attitude is they want to know all,
          but they want the public to know as little as possible</strong>.”</p>
      <p><strong>In response, the ACLU began filing requests in December
          2011 under the Privacy Act and Freedom of Information Act
          (FOIA) for any records the FBI was currently holding on
          Antiwar.com</strong>, <a target="_blank" title="which

          describes itself</a> as a Libertarian-inspired project of the
        Randolph Bourne Institute. It was clear from reading the memo
        that Antiwar.com came under the radar in part for its mission,
        which is characterized as publishing a <strong>non-interventionist</strong>
        “online magazine and research tool designed to keep the American
        people and the world informed about the overseas plans of the
        American government.” [Full disclosure, this writer is a regular
        contributor].</p>
      <blockquote>
        <p>While openly acknowledging that we have an agenda, the

          is to get past the media filters and reveal the truth about
          America’s foreign policy. Citing a wide variety of sources
          without fear or favor, and presenting our own views in the
          regular columns of various contributors, we clearly
          differentiate between fact and opinion, and let our readers
          know which is which.</p>
      </blockquote>
      <p>The website was also targeted, according to the FBI memo, for
        links it published to counter-terrorism watch lists (which were
        already in the public domain), and for the people who were
        visiting Antiwar.com and/or talking it up at rallies. The FBI
        noted at least two of Raimondo’s columns and wondered openly,
        “who are (Antiwar.com’s) contributors and what are the funds
        utilized for?” This, after acknowledging there was <strong>no
          evidence of any crime being plotted or committed</strong>.</p>
      <p>“<strong>This illustrates the troubling, continuing efforts of
          the federal government to monitor protected speech activity
          without evidence or even allegation of criminal activity</strong>,”
        said Mass, who explained that there are specific prohibitions
        against such surveillance and record-keeping in the <a

          about the FBI memo in August 2011</a>, which at the time,

href="http://www.emptywheel.net/2011/08/22/fbi-conducts-threat-assessment-on-antiwar-com-journalists-for-linking-to-publicly-available-document/">a
          “troubling story,”</a> Antiwar.com started losing donors, and
        according to the lawsuit, it was big time.</p>
      <blockquote>
        <p>In October 2011, <strong>one of Antiwar.com’s major donors
            withdrew his financial support from Antiwar.com out of
            concern that the FBI would monitor him</strong> if he
          continued to provide, as he wished to do, financial support to
          Antiwar.com. Since then, three significant donors have also
          withdrawn financial support, citing their fear that FBI
          interest in Antiwar.com would lead to surveillance of the
          donors as a reason for withdrawing financial support. As a
          result, Antiwar.com has lost about $75,000 per year since 2011
          in otherwise expected contributions.</p>
      </blockquote>
      <p>Reached over the weekend, Wheeler, who routinely investigates
        and reports on the impact of post-9/11 government surveillance
        on civil liberties for <a target="_blank"
          title="EmptyWheel.net" href="http://www.emptywheel.net">EmptyWheel.net</a>,
        voiced her concern about the apparent FBI surveillance of
        Antiwar.com and its far-reaching implications.</p>
      <p>“It’s likely (the) FBI is hiding one or another things: Bush
        era <strong>investigations into the peace community</strong>
        that were improper to start with, and/or the degree to which
        First Amendment activities have become one reason to investigate
        completely innocent activity,” she said.</p>
      <p>After a series of FOIA requests, amended requests and empty
        responses, Garris and Raimondo have “received no agency
        determination setting forth whether Defendant FBI intends to
        produce records or any basis for withholding them,” since the
        last request dated May 24, 2012. Taking it to court, Mass said,
        is the next step.</p>
      <p>“Our clients are entitled to obtain records the FBI has
        gathered about them and their online magazine,” she said. “This
        is especially important because the FBI’s surveillance has
        impacted our clients’ ability to maintain support for their
        website and has impacted their editorial choices– exactly the
        type of harm the First Amendment is supposed to protect
        against.”</p>
      <p>***</p>
      <p>[One of the reasons that the FBI was investigating the
        non-interventionist website is because] an article that listed
        Antiwar.com as a reference was handed out in 2002 at a “peaceful
        protest” at a British air base in the U.K.</p>
      <p>***</p>
      <p>“There are several unanswered questions regarding <a
          target="_blank" title="www.antiwar.com,”"
          class="smarterwiki-linkify"
          href="http://www.antiwar.com,%E2%80%9D">www.antiwar.com,”</a>
        reads the FBI memo. “It describes itself as a non-profit group
        that survives on generous contributions from its readers. Who
        are these contributors and what are the funds used for?”</p>
      <p>***</p>
      <p>The unidentified agent writing the memo concludes, “it is
        recommended that ECAU (Electronic Communications Analysis Unit)
        further monitor the postings on the website … it is recommended
        that a PI (preliminary investigation) is opened to determine if
        [line redacted] have engaged in, or are engaging in, activities
        which constitute a threat to national security on behalf of a
        foreign power.”</p>
      <p>This is the decisive point of the memo as it pertains to
        Antiwar.com: that Garris and Raimondo and Antiwar.com, for
        writing about a particularly sensitive subject and for linking
        to information that is already circulating around the Internet,
        may be a “threat to national security on behalf of a foreign
        power,” and therefore subject to secret surveillance. <strong>That
          would make any journalist, who say, linked a story to

          surmised the plaintiffs</strong>.</p>
      <p>“<strong>This sort of government activity is so chilling
          because it puts the fear of government at a higher level, and
          among the news media</strong>,” said Garris, noting the
        negative effect that federal leak investigations are already
        having on the free press. “<strong>Once the people aren’t able
          to get information, the government can, potentially, have
          unlimited power</strong>.”</p>
      <p>According to Mass, the ACLU is filing a separate,
        administrative request to the FBI to find and further expunge
        any files it may have on Garris and Raimondo.</p>
      <p>“The government,” concluded Mass, “cannot keep records about
        people’s exercise of free speech unless it is related to a
        criminal investigation.”</p>
