Except it wasn't just terrorists - activists, lobbyist and just about anyone else that disagreed or spoke out against the Bush administration was a potential target.

The laundry list of reports that came out during the end of the last administration and beginning of this one. The information was released through Freedom of Information Act requests. I don't have time to do the research right now as I'm waiting for the lady to get ready for dinner.
