When I was in Minneapolis, I sat down with a few local Indymedia journalists and Friends of the RNC 8 to talk about the connections between the RNC 8 case (above-ground community organizers facing terrorism charges for organizing mass protests against the Republican National Convention) and the broader Green Scare.

“The government has been starting with animal rights and environmental groups, and they’re broadening that net. They’re bringing more people into it. And they’re doing that by going after other marginal groups, other so-called radical groups. In this case it was people that they’re smearing as anarchists.”

Lee Stringer of “Uncensored Live!” had me on his show yesterday to talk about the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act and the proposed Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act. Thanks to Mr. Stringer for devoting the entire show to the issue (and the more we talked, it was clear even a full hour wasn’t enough!). The show airs on the Progressive Radio Network.
