From The ‘Not An April Fools Prank’ Files: FBI’s #1 Priority is Eco-Terrorism

Great FSM I wish this was an April Fools Day Joke. Fox News and the FBI are teaming up to proclaim eco-terrorism their priority #1. Check it out:

For nearly seven years, the nation has turned its terror focus on Al Qaeda and the hunt for Usama bin Laden. But there is a domestic terror threat that federal officials still consider priority No. 1 — eco-terrorism.

The torching of luxury homes in the swank Seattle suburb of Woodinville earlier this month served as a reminder that the decades-long war with militant environmentalists on American soil has not ended.

“It remains what we would probably consider the No. 1 domestic terrorism threat, because they have successfully continued to conduct different types of attacks in and around the country,” said FBI Special Agent Richard Kolko.

The FBI defines eco-terrorism “as the use or threatened use of violence of a criminal nature against innocent victims or property by an environmentally oriented, subnational group for environmental-political reasons, or aimed at an audience beyond the target, often of a symbolic nature.”

Really!?! With all the crazy shit going on in the world the FBI has the noodles to say that a bunch of grungy dreadies living in a shared house in Eugene, Oregon plotting to burn SUVs is their most pressing priority?

WTF.
