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.

  • Terrorism and Hate Crime laws

    While I'm no fan of the legislation that was passed through after 9/11, it's also dangerous precedent to make distinctions between "terrorist." Does terrorism only apply to muslims? Personally, I think laws should be written to deal with the specific actions rather than the operation or thoughts behind those actions. These types of laws are the right wing equivalent of hate crime laws. Too much emphasis is placed on the motivations behind the crimes.
