The last two weeks of July the FBI went after the VVAW. The Nixon team went after other charismatic protesters. In June the Justice Department announced an investigation of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, subpoenaing twenty-three of its members from six states who were in Florida planning a national convoy to Miami Beach. Then the FBI started arresting them without charges. They were indicted in July for conspiring to attack the Republican National Convention with “lead weights, ‘fried’ marbles, ball bearings, cherry bombs, and smoke bombs…wrist rockets, slingshots, and cross bows,” and to “organize numerous ‘fire teams’ to attack with automatic weapons fire and incendiary devices police stations, police cars, and stores.” The charges came of tape recordings made by a disturbed but entrepreneurial agent provocateur who had received a psychological discharge from the army.
