Army Intelligence Gathering on Civilians Admitted
Civilian participants at a University of Texas conference titled “Islam and the Law: The Question of Sexism,” attracted the attention of US Army counterintelligence. Two agents with the Army’s Intelligence and Security Command from Fort Hood, Texas went to the law school seeking information on conference participants. The army’s action bypassed an FBI waiver requirement designed to protect citizens from military investigations.
