Keith Olbermann On “Terrorist Plots”
The fine folks at Crooks and Liars have two video segments on Olbermann’s report: The Nexus Of Politics And Terror.
The timing of the announcements and arrests in these amateur “terrorist plots” is blatantly political. It is nothing more than a variation on the DHS color wheel from the Shrubbery’s first term. They won’t call the white supremacists and “Pro-Life” murderers and bombers terrorists, but the Animal Liberation Front, Earth First, and anyone who’s brown are so labeled.
I have no fondness for idiots who burn things in the name of the environment, because it is stupid – like the by-products of their fires don’t increase global warming. Nor do I appreciate people who “liberate” domesticated animals, so they can “die free” in a very short time because they don’t know how to live in the wild. Such people need to be prosecuted for their crimes, but they aren’t causing widespread panic.
I admit that I’m always suspicious when an “informant” is involved in an FBI arrest. My experience has always been that such people tend to be bigger criminals than those who are informed on. Talking about doing something that you obviously lack the ability to do, is not much of a threat.
