If There Are No Real Terrorists Just Invent Some

In today's Observer: the threat of Eco-Terrorists.

Although green extremists have yet to embark on an orchestrated campaign of violence in the UK, officers warn that they may be about to launch a campaign of intimidation and fear aimed at disrupting businesses. 'For some people, if they can justify it in their minds, then it's a noble cause even if it's a criminal action. They haven't started yet, but we believe they will come up with a strategy and tactics,' said the source at the unit, who described the movement as well-funded and organised.

Yes, and although I haven't done it yet, I believe it is possible that Imay come up with a strategy to find out where you live and then launch a campaign in which I may just piss through your letterbox. After all, I am well-funded and organised, in that I have some cash, a car, an internet connection and the ability to read maps.

It's becoming a bit obvious that there really aren't any 'well-funded' and 'organised' Islamic terrorists available, so a new group has to be invented. It's a bit unfortunate the person who wrote the article doesn't seem aware of the scam, but that's the British media for you.
