Stephen LendmanWhat began under George Bush continues under Barack Obama -
targeting dedicated activists with "one of today's most serious
domestic terrorism threats," according former FBI Deputy Assistant
Director of Counterterrorism John Lewis before a Senate panel in May
2005. Called "eco-terrorism," it grew out of the 2001 USA Patriot Act
that created the federal crime of "domestic terrorism" and applied it
to US citizens as well as aliens.
