B*shies targetting environmentalists again

[nam78_two]

No border security ain't that important, "Bin Laden determined to strike within the states" was ignored, Bib Laden's relatives were flown out of the the country with their blessing, but those damn environmentalists and animal activists must go:

This is just not right...just not right...
Why should people who only have good intentions and want to do what is right be targetted?
Remember when the NSA story broke, most of the groups being targetted were environmental, animal and anti-war groups and "Food not bombs" -a veggie group that gives food to homeless people....clearly terrorists :sarcasm:

This is not right that people who just want wars to end, save the planet etc. have to feel like they can be targetted just for wanting to do the right thing.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Jim Bensman thought his suggestion during a public hearing was harmless enough: Instead of building a channel so migratory fish could go around a dam on the Mississippi River, just get rid of the dam.

Instead, the environmental activist found himself in hot water, drawing FBI scrutiny to see whether he had any terrorist intentions.

The case ``shows just how easy it is to be labeled a suspected terrorist,'' he says


Dooley isn't offering apologies, casting the agency's deferral to the FBI as a judgment call.

``I don't want to dispute anything with Jim at this point,'' Dooley said. ``We're not going to debate whether this is oversensitivity or undersensitivity.''

Dooley noted that when it comes to determining security threats ``there's probably a lower threshold after 9/11.''

Marshall Stone, a supervisory special agent with the FBI office in Springfield, Ill., acknowledged that the corps had asked his agency to review Bensman's remarks. He wouldn't discuss the status of the inquiry, to avoid casting ``a negative cloud'' on Bensman if the review uncovers nothing.
