Animal rights activists, and those activists concerned about the environment are judged as terrorists:
The Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA) passed congress and was signed into law on November 27th by President Bush. This law plays off the fears of 9/11 by labeling activists as terrorists. Under the new law, animal rights activists have faced massive fines and serious jail time for involvement in non-violent civil disobedience.
(2) The Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other agencies, notably the Department of Homeland Security and local law enforcement. On April 28, 2005, Portland, OR became the first city in the nation to withdraw from a JTTF. The American Civil Liberties Union and other civil liberties groups have expressed concerns over JTTF tactics, including infiltration of activist peace groups under assumed names. Such activities were restricted by regulations put in place after the Church Commission hearings in the 1970s, which exposed politically motivated spying and obstruction of first amendment rights by the COINTELPRO division. However, the Justice Department eliminated these regulations in 2002, leading many to view the JTTF as direct threat to civil liberties. JTTFs engage in surveillance, electronic monitoring, source development and interviews in their pursuits. Prior to September 11, 2001, the United States had 35 JTTFs. Shortly after the attacks on September 11, FBI Director Robert Mueller instructed all FBI field offices to establish formal terrorism task forces. There are now 100 Joint Terrorism Task Forces nationwide, including at least one at each of the FBI Field Offices.
There are stories in the blogs or website, but anyone hear of this or have you researched this already?

We haven't even had another 9/11 yet and look at where this Bush/terrorism mania has taken us.
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.
