If the govt can infiltrate and investigate peace groups, they oughtta do the same with RW fundy orgs

They did it with groups of church folks, retired old church folks, when they were working for peace. Hell, they were all over potential demonstrators in MN last summer. They even arrested Amy Goodman.

Isn't it time for some turnabout? After all, it does fit into the legal category of terrorism.

United States Law Code – the law that governs the entire country – contains a definition of terrorism embedded in its requirement that Annual Country reports on Terrorism be submitted by the Secretary of State to Congress every year. (From U.S. Code Title 22, Ch.38, Para. 2656f(d)

1. Only problem with that is...

They've probably adopted the same "lone wolf" tactics that white supremacist groups use.

What a coincidence, right?

2. Congress easily passed the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act

Can't see why one directly focusing on violence in the name of God wouldn't fly through Congress as well. Oh, wait...I do see why.
