PHOENIX (AP) -- An Arizona bookstore owner charged in the firebombing of a government wildlife lab in Washington committed suicide in his jail cell Thursday, officials said.
William C. Rodgers, 40, of Prescott, Ariz., suffocated after placing a plastic bag over his head while in a one-person cell in Flagstaff, the Coconino County medical examiner said.
Rodgers was one of six people arrested earlier this month in connection with ecoterror attacks in Oregon and Washington in recent years.
He was accused of setting fire to the Agriculture Department's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services facility in Olympia, Wash., in 1998.
Federal court documents last week said Rodgers had been linked to a meeting of Earth Liberation Front members in western Colorado where the firebombing of a Colorado ski resort, one of the costliest ecoterror crimes in the U.S., was planned.

At least he could have used a natural substance to kill himself - all cotton sheet maybe. In the end the oil companies plastic killed him.

Someone needs to deliver plastic bags to guantanamo bay filled with goodies for the terrorists - perhaps a little pork and beans, bacon, beef jerky, etc. Ask them to recycle and not throw away the bags please?

How sad, at least he saved the tax payers a few bucks.

He released too much CO2 into his personal micro-climate, another victim of greenhouse gasses.

A terrorist is a terrorist, and his death was a good thing for the people living in America and all around the world.
Insanity has many forms, and Eco-terror is one of the many ways that it is expressed today.
"And it harm none, do what you will"
This idiot violated the most basic rules of being a human, and he is living with the results tonight. I have absolutely no sympathy for him.

I trust this is true, but it comes from the Associated Press, infamous for puerile and mendacious boilerplate.
