In an alarming case, U.S. attorneys exploited post-9/11 counterterrorism policies to pursue and prosecute an environmental activist.

    The point you and so many letter writers are missing is that this article hardly represents the evidence found in the trial, nor does its simplified definition of terrorism purportedly from the Patriot reflect the law's meaning.

    I'm in no way defending the Patriot Act, but the near-constant "Well it sure seems like the government's case was weak" and "Ho ho! Guess that means Bush/Rumsfeld/the military industrial complex/whoever is a terrorist!" based off of this extremely biased and agenda-driven article just makes liberals look like idiots.
