This is base concept upon which the legal abuse is built.
Earth Liberation Front, intentionally, never killed anybody. Their actions have been judged though, as if they were intentionally trying to kill people.
Terrorism is a vague concept, but the laws are well-defined, and the government intentionally applies them with double standards, exactly as it does with software patents, which are meant to cover a very precise idea, while they are applied in the vaguest possible terms, in order to extort money from the victims.
So here's where the hypocrisy starts:
On the lack of deaths from ELF attacks, the FBI's deputy assistant director for counterterrorism has said, "I think we're lucky. Once you set one of these fires they can go way out of control."
This is true, but why the government doesn't limit mass-spying of people, then? It actually did go out of control already.
By the way, don't forget that the government condoned HSBC, which factually supports real terrorists.
