This article in Congressional Quarterly: "Animal Rights Groups and Ecology Militants Make DHS Terrorist List, Right-Wing Vigilantes Omitted" (
http://www.cq.com/public/20050325_homeland.html)says it all. This administration is not only trying to write history, they are trying to blindfold us from recent history.
From the article:
-Justin Rood, CQ Staff
"The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) does not list right-wing domestic terrorists and terrorist groups on a document that appears to be an internal list of threats to the nation's security.
According to the list -- part of a draft planning document obtained by CQ Homeland Security -- between now and 2011 DHS expects to contend primarily with adversaries such as al Qaeda and other foreign entities affiliated with the Islamic Jihad movement, as well as domestic radical Islamist groups.
It also lists left-wing domestic groups, such as the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) and the Earth Liberation Front (ELF), as terrorist threats, but it does not mention anti-government groups, white supremacists and other radical right-wing movements, which have staged numerous terrorist attacks that have killed scores of Americans. Recent attacks on cars, businesses and property in Virginia, Oregon and California have been attributed to ELF."
As noted in the article, the recent rise in Eco-group attacks in the past few has been on property such as cars and buildings. However, violence attributed to Right Wing organizations such as the Army of God have resulted in the deaths of doctors and nurses from Abortion clinics. This same group claims Eric Rudolph who is the principle suspect in the Olympic Park bombing in 1996. Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols were also associated with right wing militias in the mid-west, and there actions in Oklahoma City killed hundreds and devasted thousands of families.
Clearly this administration has its priorities straight, kill many due to extremist views, well you're only a minor nuisance; disfigure a handful of Hummers and SUV's, then you are a true terrorist!
