Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Earth First? They've done *criminal* things in the past (largely
sabotage of machinery), but in what sense are those things
"terrorism?" They don't even spike trees.

I'm really concerned about right-wing definition creep when it comes
to terrorism (c.f. "narcoterrorism"), because -- whether we like it or
not -- we have authorized military and intelligence responses to it.
I'm dead set against allowing military and intelligence responses to
vandalism, on whatever scale.
