Shifting Definitions Of Terrorism
“The F.B.I. does not target individuals or organizations for investigation based on their political beliefs. Everything we do is carefully promulgated by federal law, Justice Department guidelines and the F.B.I.'s own rules.”
John Miller, FBI spokesman.
“You look at these documents, and you think, wow, we have really returned to the days of J. Edgar Hoover, when you see in F.B.I. files that they're talking about a group like the Catholic Workers league as having a communist ideology.”
Ann Beeson, associate legal director, A.C.L.U.
“The fact that we're even mentioned in the F.B.I. files in connection with terrorism is really troubling. There's no property damage or physical injury caused in our activities, and under any definition of terrorism, we'd take issue with that.”
Tom Wetterer, general counsel, Greenpeace.
Erick Lichtblau, “F.B.I. Watched Activist Groups, New Files Show,”
