GNR loves Harry Potter, but he's totally screwing up Will's hits on Google. "Will Potter die in the final book?" "Will Potter defeat Voldemort?" "How will Potter do in the box office?" Grr.

Those who refused to "name names" or pledge loyalty oaths, whether it was during the Red Scare, the Green Scare, or any other era of repression.
The War on Terrorism has come home. Corporations and politicians are labeling activists "eco-terrorists" and national security threats. Think red-baiting, with a green twist. Here you'll find original reporting and analysis of the Green Scare, and history repeating itself.
About the Author
Will Potter is an award-winning reporter who focuses on how lawmakers and corporations have labeled animal rights and environmental activists as "eco-terrorists." Will has written for publications including The Chicago Tribune, The Dallas Morning News and Legal Affairs, and has testified before the U.S. Congress about his reporting. He is the creator of GreenIsTheNewRed.com, where he blogs about the Green Scare.
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone concerned about the rapid erosion of civil liberties in this "War on Terrorism." Animal rights activists and environmentalists are just the canaries in the mine: this "terrorism" rhetoric and legislation can, and will, be applied to other social movements.
Please help! The trial date for BJ & Alex is currently July 27th, 28th, and 29th. These activists are being charged with terrorism enhanced charges under the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act. The Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act labels activity of compassion, non-violence, and civil disobedience as terrorism. When does AETA say compassion, non-violence, and civil disobedience become terrorism? When it interferes with business and profits. These Utah activists still need to raise about $2500 to afford a $10,000 cost of a lawyer for trial for Alex.

I re published tofu terrorism in the evergreen college paper with information about how to support folks, thought you should know, keep up the good work!
I think it is complete insanity that environmental & animal advocates are labeled as 'terrorists'. I'm looking forward to helping spread awareness about all things earth & animal friendly!
