Data base: Explanation Required

Seems that Defense Dept needs to explain Talon's actions.
Unless a good explanation is put forth, many will consider these actions not only overstepping constitutional rights of citizens, but also, indicative of the "police state mentality" that those that abuse power have done previously.

I'll add my opinion, the Veterans for Peace in no way has ever been sympathetic to terrorists, nor have they ever acted in a violent manner.
When a governmental agency gathers data on responsible citizens that are exercising their constitutional right of free speech, as Jefferson said so well in the Declaration of Independence, that government that denies those rights, no longer has the "consent of the governed".
Remaining silent, as so many did in the 1930's in Germany, allows the Gestapo to assume powers of control that once taken, are forever lost.
