"The FBI divides the terrorist threat facing the United States into two broad categories, international and domestic."
"Domestic terrorism is the unlawful use, or threatened use, of violence by a group or individual based and operating entirely within the United States (or its territories) without foreign direction, committed against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives."
"Since 1977, when disaffected members of the ecological preservation group Greenpeace formed the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and attacked commercial fishing operations by cutting drift nets, acts of "eco-terrorism" have occurred around the globe. 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."

The War on Terror is Over!
"Khalid Shaykh Muhammad, som har utpekats som hjärnan bakom terrorattackerna mot USA den 11 september 2001, har tagit på sig ansvaret för dem och en lång rad andra terrordåd som tillskrivs al-Qaida.
Han tar också på sig ansvaret för attacken mot World Trade Center i New York 1993, sprängdådet mot en nattklubb på Bali och ett försök att spränga två amerikanska flygplan med hjälp av skobomber.
I utskriften listas 29 attacker och komplotter som Muhammad tagit på sig, bland annat misslyckade mordförsök på de tidigare amerikanska presidenterna Bill Clinton och Jimmy Carter samt förre påven Johannes Paulus II.
Muhammad har också erkänt planer på en andra terrorvåg efter 11-septemberattackerna 2001. De utvalda målen var Library Tower i Kalifornien, Sears Tower i Chicago, Plaza Bank i delstaten Washington och Empire State Building i New York, rapporterar AFP. Andra terrorplaner inriktade sig på att spränga sönder Panamakanalen, och amerikanska marinfartyg och oljetankers i Hormuzsundet, Gibraltarsundet och i Singapores hamn."
Innan dom ryckte ut tånaglarna på honom erkände han också att han var ansvarig för attentatet mot Ronald Reagan och John F Kennedy, första och andra världskriget och den islamska ockupationen av Spanien fram till 1492.
Jag som trodde det var Bin Laden...

Al Qaeda is Good!
"After the US was attacked by Sunni extremists (Al-Qaeda) on 9/11, the US invaded secular Iraq. The invasion helped empower Shiite Iran and the Shiite factions within Iraq.
Now, afraid of the rise of Iran and the Lebanese Shiite militia Hezbollah, the US is trying to counter these Shiite forces by supporting Sunnis.
These Sunni groups include the Saudi Arabian government, and militia groups inside Lebanon who actually trained at Al-Qaeda camps."

Terrorism is Good!
Att Bin Laden är bra för vapenindustrin är väl inga nyheter, men terrorism kan vara väldigt användbart på flera områden;
"US funds terror groups to sow chaos in Iran
Funding for their separatist causes comes directly from the CIA's classified budget but is now "no great secret", according to one former high-ranking CIA official in Washington who spoke anonymously to The Sunday Telegraph.
His claims were backed by Fred Burton, a former US state department counter-terrorism agent, who said: "The latest attacks inside Iran fall in line with US efforts to supply and train Iran's ethnic minorities to destabilise the Iranian regime."
A row has also broken out in Washington over whether to "unleash" the military wing of the Mujahedeen-e Khalq (MEK), an Iraq-based Iranian opposition group with a long and bloody history of armed opposition to the Iranian regime."
Hmm, MEK är ju terrorister enligt amerikanska State Department;
"Iraq continued to provide safehaven and support to a variety of Palestinian rejectionist groups, as well as bases, weapons, and protection to the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), an Iranian terrorist group that opposes the current Iranian regime."
Så det är ju lite intressant att de använder samma terrorist grupp som ursäkt att både invadera Irak och attackera Iran.
Och det är ju inte allt man kan ha en terroristgrupp till..
Sen är det ju olagligt enligt The Terrorist Financing Executive Order;
"The President has directed the first strike on the global terror network today by issuing an Executive Order to starve terrorists of their support funds. The Order expands the Treasury Department’s power to target the support structure of terrorist organizations, freeze the U.S. assets and block the U.S. transactions of terrorists and those that support them.."
Ska dom frysa CIAs tillgångar nu?

Bush is Good!
In his 2007 state of the union speech he made it clear how important american support of freedom and democracy in the middle east is for combatting muslim sharia dictatorships and terrorism and how the US support of democracy has made the world a safer place.
"Free people are not drawn to violent and malignant ideologies" he said and it is so true, liberal free democracies like the US and Israel are on the forefront of spreading peace and liberty in the arabworld.
He stressed how important US collaboration with peaceful democracies like China is to make the Korean peninsula nuclear arms free just as the US support of UN resolutions against Iran will make sure the middle east also remains free from dangerous nuclear arms that could start a cold war style armsrace in the region.
Bush competent leadership and crusade for world peace, human rights and civil liberties is a model for swedish politicians and would no doubt restore swedens former glory and international reputation if more emulated by swedish politicians.
The Bush administrations close relationship to big business also shows that even if the national state as such is an evil whos influence should be kept at a minimum it can effectively be tamed and led in the right direction.
