    I am not comfortable with the FBI using the term domestic terrorism on this kind of arson. It seems like a stretch…it diminishes the term terrorism from the kind of efforts aimed at killing thousands, tens of thousands or millions of people and creating an ongoing sense of fear in their lives. This kind of arson is aimed primarily at property, does not often target people – albeit it does seemed aimed at political change…it still seems like arson or violent activism to me. Is anyone afraid ELF is going to burn their house down tonight?
