Boing Boing reports, Greenpeace is filing a lawsuit again a number of chemical companies and PR firms which hired private investigators to spy on the group.
According to the report, the hacking, bin searches and surveillance took place in 1999-2000 so they could gather information on planned protests by Greenpeace.
"Greenpeace and Mother Jones said the documents showed that former agents for the Secret Service, the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency took part in the work, which was carried out by off-duty police officers from Washington and Baltimore."-NYtimes
