Re: RE: Green Party official busted at gunpoint
Hey! Oden said that she commended those who perpetrated this "ecoterrorism",
according to the logic used with Bin Laden this an admission she did it.
Will Bush issue an order to get her dead or alive or that she be brought to
justice or justice brought to her!
Given her description of the precautions to be taken when hacking GM
corn it sounds as if she may think that anthrax genes have been injected
into the corn..
Cheers, Ken Hanly
PS Has this anything to do with the Green Party airport story?
