Earth Liberation Front Terrorists Strike

Earth Liberation Front Terrorists Strike

We need to get much tougher with our domestic terrorists. It's entirely too bad that we treat them as mere criminals. Perhaps a new constitutional amendment would allow us to treat them as combatants.
If we could start jugging them in Guantanamo, then we might not have to put up with stuff like this.

"WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP -- A radical environmental group opposed to sprawl is claiming credit for fires that burned two houses in a Macomb County development.

The June 4 fires caused about $700,000 damage to a pair of nearly completed houses in the Willow Ridge development in Macomb's Washington Township.

Authorities believe those fires -- and two March 21 blazes in Washtenaw County's Superior Township -- were set by the Earth Liberation Front.

The Earth Liberation Front terms itself "an international underground organization that uses direct action in the form of economic sabotage to oppose the destruction of the natural environment."

Graffiti left at the sites read "ELF -- Stop Sprawl," and the group on Thursday acknowledged its role in the blazes."
