ACLU: Md. Activist Spying Began Earlier than Admitted
-----------------------------------------------------



In Maryland, state police are being accused of spying on peace groups
and anti-death penalty activists earlier than they claimed. In July,
Maryland was forced to admit its agents infiltrated meetings and events
of the Baltimore Pledge of Resistance and the Baltimore Coalition
Against the Death Penalty. The American Civil Liberties Union says the
spying actually began in January 2005, two months before police claimed.
