Is Briana Waters a terrorist?
In an alarming case, U.S. attorneys exploited post-9/11 counterterrorism policies to pursue and prosecute an environmental activist.
By Tracy Tullis [2008-03-27]

  • Anyone participating actively in setting off a bomb in a university office....

    Anyone who assists someone to set off an incendiary device (essentially a bomb) in a university office is indeed a terrorist, and participates in a terrorist plot. Briana, it appears, didn't do this.... despite the lousy jury decision.

    But make no mistake: if someone had bought airline tickets for the 9/11 terrorists, knowing what they did.... they'd be a terrorist, just as surely as the people on the planes.
