Damien and Hal: the problem is will we ever know?
The bigger problem, for me, though is how the FBI was able to jerk
people around. Yeah, I don't particularly want pipe bombers running
around blowing up stuff, but I'm much more fearful of a real police
state than alleged ecoterrorists -- especially if the latter are so
incompetent they blow themselves up without taking others. I still take
the standard knee-jerk libertarian position here: government is the
biggest criminal in history -- all others are chump change. (Or to put
it in strictly methodologically individualist terms: the biggest
criminals in history organize themselves into governments.:)
Cheers!
