Pa. anti-terror reports halted

• AP
An embarrassed Gov. Ed Rendell apologized Tuesday to groups whose peaceful protests or events, from an animal-rights demonstration to a gay and lesbian festival, were the subject of regular anti-terrorism bulletins being distributed by his Homeland Security director.

Rendell said that the information was useless to law-enforcement agencies and that distributing it was tantamount to trampling on constitutional rights.

I was kind of interested in the outfit that published the reports, the ITRR. Their website description tag says the "Institute of Terrorism Research and Response (ITRR) is an American and Israeli nonprofit corporation created to help organizations succeed and prosper in a world threatened by terrorism."

Gee, ain't that a surprise?
