As the association between Obama and Ayers came to light, it would have helped the senator a little if his friend had at least shown some remorse. But listen to Ayers interviewed in the New York Times on September 11, 2001, of all days: “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.” Translation: “We meant to kill that judge and his family, not just damage the porch.” When asked by the Times if he would do it all again, Ayers responded: “I don’t want to discount the possibility.” At the conclusion of his 2001 Times interview, Ayers...

When it comes to fears about a terrorist attack, people in the United States usually focus on Osama bin Laden and foreign-based radical groups. Yet researchers say domestic extremists who commit violence in the name of their cause - abortion or the environment, for example - account for most of the damage from such incidents in this country. more stories like this These home-grown groups are seven times more likely than overseas groups to commit some kind of violence in the United States, a panel reported yesterday in Boston at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement...

America’s universities are both the major targets as well as the incubators of a rapidly growing class of criminals—eco-terrorists. “The Department of Justice named them the number one domestic terrorist threat,” Sen. James M. Inhofe, R-Oklahoma, told a college-age audience at the Eagle Forum’s annual summit on Capitol Hill in Washington, D. C. “Their direct actions include bombings, stalking of individuals and teaching members how to commit arson.” “They attacked and destroyed a ski lift, an SUV dealership, and an apartment complex.” Four hundred tenants were evacuated from that complex. Sen. Inhofe chairs the U. S. Senate Environment and Public...

A mother that gives violin lessons will face trial in the northwestern US state of Washington on charges she was an environmental terrorist, prosecutors said. Briana Waters, 30, of the famously liberal California city of Berkeley, has pleaded innocent in a Seattle federal court that she that fire bombed a horticulture center in 2001. A US district court judge allowed Waters to remain free pending the start of her trial in June, but ordered that she turn in her passport and have her whereabouts monitored electronically.

Fort Campbell, Ky -- A soldier accused of opening fire on fellow soldiers six weeks ago has been charged with attempted murder, Fort Campbell officials said Wednesday. No one was wounded. Pvt. Nicholas D. Mikel, 21, also was charged with attempted rape, stemming from an incident the day before the Oct. 13 shooting, the Army post said in a statement. Mikel was accused of firing five shots into the group of soldiers who were doing early-morning physical training. There were no injuries. Fort Campbell officials said at the time that the suspect, arrested shortly after the shooting, had a handgun...

The members of the Muslim Group Nation of Islam are furious at the Oakland police department for what they say is racial profiling. They spoke out Saturday after hearing the way police describe a dozen men who vandalized two liquor stores in Oakland. Minister Tony Muhammad, Nation of Islam: "That is racial, as well as religious profiling at its' worst." Members of leader Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam are outraged. They say Oakland police jumped to conclusions when watching surveillance video showing 12 men in suits and ties walking into a liquor store in West Oakland and trashing it. It...

BURBANK, Calif. - Vandals spray painted a gang term for death on two freeway memorials to slain police Officer Matthew Pavelka, prompting police to take down the markers. "What you have here is an individual who has given his life to a particular cause, and people just vandalize it," said Sgt. Jay Jette. "It gets to be a little bit emotional." The signs on both sides of the Interstate 5 were sprayed with "187" - the section for murder in the California penal code - and a gang nickname. Burbank police are investigating the case as vandalism. Pavelka, a rookie...

A federal judge ruled on April 18 that 24-year-old William Jensen Cottrell should serve more than seven years in federal prison and pay more than $3.5 million in restitution for an August 2003 firebombing spree that damaged or destroyed some 125 sport utility vehicles at dealerships and homes outside Los Angeles. Cottrell will be required to serve at least 85 percent of the eight-year, four-month sentence handed down by U.S. District Judge R. Gary Klausner. Cottrell was convicted in November 2004 of seven counts of arson and one of conspiracy. He was acquitted of the most serious charge, using a...

BOMB THREATS CLOSE WAL-MART TWICE IN DAY Police evacuated Richmond's Wal-Mart and blew up a suspicious package after a bomb threat yesterday afternoon. Less than two hours after the store reopened, a second threat caused another evacuation. The bag, which police described as a duffel bag or suitcase, was in the parking lot a few feet from the store's propane tank exchange area. Willard Reardon, public affairs officer for the Richmond Police Department, said the bag appeared to contain videotapes and papers. Police had not determined whether the package was related to the threat. Robots were used to examine and...

INDIAN HEAD, Md. -- A pricey suburban Washington subdivision that has been criticized by environmentalists burned early Monday, destroying a dozen homes under construction next to an environmental preserve. Thirty homes were damaged in the Hunters Brooke development, where homes range from $400,000 to $500,000, said Faron Taylor, a deputy state fire marshal. There were no reports of injuries and no word yet on the cause, said Charles County spokeswoman Nina Voehl. The Sierra Club called the development "quintessential sprawl" in its Fall 2000 sprawl report, noting it is far from existing infrastructure and "threatens a fragile wetland and important...

BOSTON (Reuters) - An explosion that blew out a number of windows at a Boston-area laboratory specializing in stem-cell research was caused by a pipe bomb, local police said on Friday. No one was wounded in Thursday's early morning blast at Watertown, Massachusetts-based Amaranth Bio, which says on its Web site its technology is focused on organ regeneration and that it is working on cures for diabetes and liver disorders. In a statement, Watertown police confirmed the explosion was the result of a pipe bomb and said they believe someone broke into the facility. No arrests have been made, police...

WINTERSET, Iowa (AP) - Visitors to this Iowa town can visit the birthplace of John Wayne, tour the nearby bridges of Madison County - and buy enough fertilizer to blow up an office building. Ammonium nitrate is one of the most common farm fertilizers worldwide, used primarily in the production of pasture crops. Increasingly, countries in Europe and other parts of the world are clamping down on its sale - but not the United States, where rural feed stores such as BB&P Grain Handlers in Winterset sell it for $240 a ton. The product is deadly if soaked in kerosene...

Several months after the Black Panther Party’s shootout with the Los Angeles Police Department in 1969, the militant organization was in disarray. Two leaders, each supported by a block of followers, emerged from the rubble:  Huey Newton and Eldridge Cleaver. Cleaver was a wanted fugitive and had departed the United States for Algeria. A group of Cleaver-faction former Panthers started a new group, the “Nation of Nigretia.” They described themselves as a country without land, ostensibly, descendents of black slaves brought from Africa and now spread throughout the U.S. It took little time for a sixth investigative sense to tell the FBI agents assigned...

HOUSTON — One evening two winters ago, a man in Staten Island, N.Y., absent-mindedly flipped through his mail. Inside one envelope was a stack of fake documents, including United Nations (news - web sites) and Defense Department identification cards, and a note: "We would hate to have this fall into the wrong hands."

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Three people, at least two of them from Oregon, are wanted for questioning by the FBI about last week's double bombings at the Emeryville, Calif., headquarters of biotechnology company Chiron Corp. No one was injured in the blasts early last Thursday, but a group called ``The Revolutionary Cells'' claimed responsibility in an anonymous e-mail and warned that the company's employees may be attacked at their homes. Animal rights activists have targeted Chiron because of its contracts with Huntingdon Life Sciences, an English company that uses animals to test drugs. The three people are Bjorn Einertsen, 25,...

SULTAN, Wash. (AP) - Snohomish County mink farmers, who produce almost half the mink raised in Washington, worry there will be more ecoterrorism attacks like Monday's release of about 10,000 animals from a family farm here. ``These farmers are on pins and needles,'' said Teresa Platt, executive director of the industry group Fur Commission USA. ``People should be on alert because the pattern with these groups is to hit again and in a short period of time.'' The FBI, which is leading the investigation, suspects an out-of-state group is responsible for the mink release at the Roesler Brothers Fur Farm...

Sources say the nation will probably remain on high alert for the duration of hostilities with Iraq even if no evidence surfaces of an impending terrorist attack. Authorities are convinced there exists a "hidden network of cold-blooded killers," as Attorney General John Ashcroft recently put it. But they acknowledge being pleasantly surprised that the war has not so far triggered a response by terror groups or so-called "lone wolf" extremists.

<p>The federal government continues to concentrate on rooting out olive-skinned, religion-perverting terrorists and terrorist wanna-bes. And with good reason — many of the terrorist and terrorist wanna-bes are olive-skinned perverters of religion.</p> <p>Others have made it something of a cottage industry in exposing paramilitary hate groups that are, invariably, at least according to their reportage, stocked by disaffected white male right-wingers.</p>

W A S H I N G T O N, Dec. 10 — The United States possibly could have prevented the Sept. 11 hijackings if intelligence agencies had reported to a single leader, with the resources to link scattered clues, a senator investigating the attacks says. Sen. Bob Graham, outgoing chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Monday that lawmakers hope to prevent future attacks by recommending creation of a national intelligence director, a Cabinet-level post that would oversee all U.S. intelligence operations. It is a principal recommendation of an inquiry into the attacks by the House and Senate intelligence...

On June 11th, 2002 Jeff "Free" Luers will have spent one year in the Oregon State Prison system for torching three SUVs in a Eugene car lot. He was sentenced to an astounding 23 years for this crime, leading many people to believe that the sentence was politically motivated and intended to intimidate environmentalists. For perspective, consider that, according to the Department of Justice, the average sentence given to a man who kills his wife is 13 years. Here are Free's own words on his actions: "My name is Jeffrey Luers. Most of my friends call me 'Free'. I have...
