Such wonderful people
The Seattle Post-intelligencer goes on at length about two charming women, Jennifer Kolar and Lacey Phillabaum, wondering amidst the praise how such perfect people could be convicted eco-terrorists.
Taranto notes that, had their terrorism been directed at abortion clinics instead of scientific laboratories, they wouldn't get that kind of treatment from a major newspaper. Indeed, where are the warm fuzzy stories about Islamic terrorists or anti-government extremists? Maybe they're looking for penpals who could turn into romantic interests after they're free...especially given that it was probably Phillabaum's boyfriend who ratted on her.
I think that genetically-improved poplars are a wonderfully Green goal, myself...but then I'm an animal-exploiting, fossil-fuel-guzzling anti-government extremist, so what would I know?
