AL-QAEDA orders the burning of American Forests

Or, that they flew with helicopters over forest areas, spraying napalm onto cut-down trees and remains of clear-cutting to start fires (and no, I'm not referring to Vietnam here, but the pacific north-west of the US of A...).

(Both witnessed and described by Julia Butterfly Hill during her squatting Luna)

Currently, the same is happening in Tasmania (Australia), where the remains of clear-cutting are burned using Napalm, too...

However, no one really cares, unless the trigger "Al Qaeda" is used. It's almost like a Pawlowian reaction, that people start slobbering, as soon as they hear that "terrorist" bell ringing. But if "legitimate" companies do the same sh1t, next to no one says or does anything...

This quote never fails to fit: "This... is sad. Very sad only!"

WRONG, BUNKIE!!! I am 100% behind the tactics of EARTH FIRST!, when it comes to dealing with CORPORATE TERRORISTS. It makes NO DIFFERENCE to me if you are "serving Allah", or your greedy stockholders. If you plan to decimate the forests, than you deserve whatever fate you are dealt by those that cherish the forests, and only support selective, sustainable thinning of the forests.
