Clay Reddick of The Daily Texan on Undercover officers at anti-war meetings: APD officers were secretly present at protest plannings:

Documents obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas prove that undercover Austin police officers attended anti-war meetings in March.

The Texas ACLU obtained two memos in November discussing undercover police protest planning meetings. One of the documents details a detective's observations at a March 23 direct-action training where protesters practiced civil disobedience. On March 24, about 40 people were arrested while protesting against the war in Iraq.

Apparently, the cops in Austin weren't paying attention when Denver jackboots were screwing up in precisely the same way in 2002 (here, here, here and here).
