California Governor, Guard Stymie Spying Investigation

Schwarzenegger’s office has declined to get involved, stating, "The National Guard is the subject of the Senate investigation, so we will defer to the Guard’s lawyers."

Dunn’s investigation into allegations that a special unit of the California National Guard was spying on a group of nonviolent anti-war protesters leading up to a planned Mother’s Day protest began in late June, just a day after the Mercury News broke the story. An Army Inspector General initiated a separate review in early July .

Dunn has charged that Guard officials resisted the Senator’s investigation from the beginning, destroying electronic evidence and removing computers from the Sacramento office. In an early July statement, he warned "evidence of document destruction could turn our quiet investigation into a full-blown scandal."
