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]

  • Save The Tiger

    and when bankrupt builders torch their own work to collect the insurance money and get out of a losing deal, what is that? Is it terrorism if you call the cops afterwards and claim you are an eco-terrorist group.

    recently there were some devastating wildfires in southern california, while the local government ordered mass evacuations on a scale before unheard of. people who wanted to save their homes ignored the warnings, and most of them did save their homes. those who were behind on their payments and holding underwater mortgages were allowed to get out.

    in the wake of the 2003 fires some arsonists were found and prosecuted, but nobody was ever charged in any of the 2007 fires.

    now whats your definition of (state sponsered) terrorism again?
