Climate Activist or Terrorist?

Josh Tulkin,  Field Director of the Energy Action Coalition and Power Vote recently found out that he was listed as a suspected terrorist by the Maryland State Police along with two other climate change activists.

From the NYT article:

For a 13-month stretch starting in March 2005, three environmentalists working for the Chesapeake Climate Action Network were listed in a Maryland State Police data base as being “suspected of involvement in terrorism.” The description went on to note that the police had “no evidence whatsoever of any involvement in violent crime,” and the listing, and possible tracking, did not continue. But the activists — not surprisingly — were not happy to hear about this when they received letters from the state police earlier this month informing them of the situation.

How did this make him feel? Here is Josh’s response to the letter:
