EXCERPT: SEATTLE (AP) — The Army is investigating an anti-war group's claim that it was infiltrated by a civilian employee of Fort Lewis in violation of federal law barring the Army from conducting domestic law enforcement.

John J. Towery, a criminal intelligence analyst for the post's Force Protection Division, attended meetings and protests and administered an e-mail list for the Olympia Port Militarization Resistance group over the past two years, members of the anti-war group said.

The members said Towery identified himself as an anarchist named "John Jacob," and they learned his true identity after receiving documents from the city of Olympia under a public disclosure request.Sphere: Related Content
