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]

  • I'll take my chances with the Elves

    For all of you who are so concerned that Ms. Waters should do jail time for her crime because, if she indeed committed a crime, someone COULD have been hurt by her alleged actions:

    How many people have been injured or killed in ELF actions in the past ten years? ZERO

    How many people have been killed by unlawful acts in a motor vehicle (speeding, tailgating, running red lights and stop signs, drunk driving) in the past ten years in the U.S.? Over 450,000 killed, approximately ten to twenty MILLION injured.

    Somehow, I doubt many of you would call for the imprisonment of all of the terrorists who do their killing and intimidating with two ton fossil-fool powered wheelchairs.
