Subject: BS: Tiller killer not 'terrorist' but ELF is
Doctor who performed abortions shot to death

As usual, those who perform violent acts against people, including murder, are called just about everything else, by the media, but "terrorists." Meanwhile, members of Earth Liberation Front or Earth First or Animal Liberation Front -- even Greenpeace -- are labeled "eco-terrorists both by our "intelligence" agencies and by the media, even when their acts of sabotage are merely interference with commerce (e.g., lying down on a logging road to prevent trucks from passing) or sabotage/vandalism (e.g., spray painting a building or slashing the tires of a parked vehicle), and even if the members of that organization have never either indulged in nor condoned violence against people.

Is this bias on the part of our government agencies and our media, or what?
