Fort Lewis investigates claims employee infiltrated Olympia peace group
BY JEREMY PAWLOSKI

OLYMPIA – Fort Lewis plans an inquiry into claims by members of an Olympia
antiwar group that a civilian employee of the fort infiltrated and spied on the
group for nearly two years.

Members of Olympia Port Militarization Resistance say that John J. Towery posed
as an anarchist and took part in the antiwar group's activities from 2007 until
last month.

A Fort Lewis spokesman said Monday that an officer has been appointed to conduct
an inquiry into the allegation.

Come listen to speakers and gather to peacefully demonstrate against
the additional troops and military equipment being sent overseas.
Military shipments of strykers are being sent out of
Port of Tacoma to be sent to Afghanistan. Come and show your
