New Front on Ecoterror?
Some Want to Target High-Profile Activists in Battle on Ecoterror

By Dean Schabner

Some congressmen and industry advocates want the federal government to
take a hard look at some well-known animal rights and environmental
groups, and maybe shut them down as supporters of terrorism. 

The idea was floated earlier this month at a Congressional subcommittee
hearing on ecoterrorism by Richard Berman, the executive director of a
group called the Center for Consumer Freedom. 

Berman, whose group represents restaurant and tavern owners and
advocates protecting "the public's right to a full menu of dining and
entertainment choices," said a number of high-profile activist groups,
including People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, have links to
groups named on the FBI's domestic terrorism list, such as the Earth
Liberation Front.
