Red Book Hoax

The college student who claimed that Homeland Security paid him a visit because he requested Chairman Mao's Red Book from the campus library (See Tuesday, December 20, 2005--"Domestic Spying Nets Innocent People") has come clean -- admitted that it was a hoax.

At a time when we find more and more instances of our government spying on our own citizens, this fraudulent claim only gives the NeoCon apologists an opening to say, "See it's ALL a hoax!"

The New York Times, Dec. 20, reported:
One F.B.I. document indicates that agents in Indianapolis planned to conduct surveillance as part of a "Vegan Community Project." Another document talks of the Catholic Workers group's "semi-communistic ideology." A third indicates the bureau's interest in determining the location of a protest over llama fur planned by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

So, there really IS something going on ... no hoax!
