Tax dollars well spent, eh?

Moles Wanted - City Pages (Minneapolis/St. Paul)

Quote:

“She told me that I had the perfect ‘look,’” recalls Carroll. “And that I had the perfect personality—they kept saying I was friendly and personable—for what they were looking for.”

What they were looking for, Carroll says, was an informant—someone to show up at “vegan potlucks” throughout the Twin Cities and rub shoulders with RNC protestors, schmoozing his way into their inner circles, then reporting back to the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, a partnership between multiple federal agencies and state and local law enforcement. The effort’s primary mission, according to the Minneapolis division’s website, is to “investigate terrorist acts carried out by groups or organizations which fall within the definition of terrorist groups as set forth in the current United States Attorney General Guidelines.”

Carroll would be compensated for his efforts, but only if his involvement yielded an arrest. No exact dollar figure was offered.

I don't get it - vegan potlucks are the bomb.

United States all right... what are they united for though - control? And against, what - growth?

I think this is ridiculous, but maybe they are worried about the crazy animal rights activists breaking into research facilities and freeing monkeys or something? That's terrorism in our nation's definition I am sure.

Eco-terrorism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia provides some insight (for the record I don't see members of those organisations as terrorists).

If you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Hammer anti-terror groups are perfect examples of IM at work: If terrorists don't fall into their laps or misbehave on enough of a regular basis to justify their salaries (mainly because "terror" in general is an overblown myth) they create their own, by redefining what "terrorists" are. Silly.

You know how in movies like Die Hard, the "feds" are always portrayed as cocky, know-it-all, bumbling screwups? Not for no reason...methinks.

Maybe bioterrorism? I heard vegan farts can be lethal in very small doses.

That's funny i always thought that the farts of the millions of people who are lactose intolerant and drink milk anyway were lethal.
