. STEPPING UP THE ATTACK ON GREEN ACTIVISTS

"A remorseless rapist in Hamilton County, Ohio is sentenced to 15
years in prison for beating and raping a 57-year-old woman," writes
Kelly Hearn. "An environmental activist in California is sentenced
to 22 years and 8 months for burning three SUVs at a car dealership
after taking precautions to harm no lives. The disparity helps
illustrates what animal rights and environmental groups say is an
expanding Orwellian attack on American environmentalism being waged
under the pretext of eco-terrorism." On CounterPunch, Jeffrey St.
Clair writes, "Armed with the bulging array of new police and
surveillance powers handed the agency in the wake of 9/11, the FBI
is now free to prowl unfettered by even the thinnest strands of
constitutional due process through the lives, email and bank
accounts of activists trying to stop chemical plants from flushing
toxins into their water. ... On FoxNews, blinking eco-terrorist
alerts have replaced Tom Ridge's color-coded threat level."
