Most environmentalists don't hang on to that kind of money or have it to throw around. I figured after 9/11 the whole "ecoterrorism" paranoia would die down. You can't terrorize a bulldozer or some other piece of logging equipment, and eco"terrorists" do not kill people and very few believe in violence against other people. So calling them "terrorists" is Limbaughesque propaganda. Arrow's an accused arsonist. Osama bin Laden is a terrorist. But, even if there are eco types out there with that kind of money--say, Nader--giving it to Arrow would be a bad investment because he's likely to skip bail or something. I mean, the dude got popped for shoplifting a friggin' pair of boltcutters while he was hiding from the FBI. Not exactly the kind of guy you lend a hundred grand. > I wonder if Portland businessman and former ELF spokesman Craig Rosebraugh > will put up a $100,000? He'd be one to do it, but I doubt he has it. The ELF is idealistically cool, and nondestructive civil disobedience works, but stunts like arson are a setback to every step of progress the environmentalists make. -c
