The Bloomberg Tapes: Mayoral Election

The domestic surveillance operation during the 2004 Republican National Convention

A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TIME, RESOURCES, AND ENERGY WERE SPENT ON THE DOMESTIC SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM THAT MAYOR BLOOMBERG OPERATED DURING THE 2004 REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION.

"For more than a year before the convention, the Police Department monitored Web sites and sent undercover detectives around the nation to collect information on Bush opponents planning to demonstrate in New York. Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg has said the operation helped keep order. " The New York Times, April 3, 2007

WHAT RESULTED FROM THE DOMESTIC SPYING PROGRAM AGAINST THE PROTESTERS WERE THE ARRESTS OF 1,800 PEOPLE FOR DOING NOTHING OTHER THAN TAKING PART IN THE DEMONSTRATIONS AGAINST PRESIDENT BUSH AND HIS WAR IN IRAQ.

"Mr. Bloomberg's popularity is high, but his handling of protesters to the 2004 Republican National Convention, when thousands of demonstrators were swept off the streets and detained, is a black mark on his record for many New Yorkers and civil libertarians." -- The New York Times
