The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit in federal court Wednesday demanding information about a Defense Department database that tracked anti-war groups and U.S. citizens. The suit charges the Pentagon with violating freedom of information laws by refusing to answer questions about the database, which is part of an anti-terrorism initiative. "The U.S. military should not be in the business of maintaining secret databases about lawful First Amendment activities," said ACLU attorney Ben Wizner.
