Iraq is a greater threat now to us as a source of extremism and to the region as a destabilizing force than it was in 2002. yeah what about right wing terror groups here? how come they have gotten such a free ride? Did Clinton destroy them all or something?
Quote:
US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) does not include extreme right-wing groups, some of which have ties to the Republican Party, on its list of potential terrorist threats, according to a report last month by the Congressional Quarterly, a publication with high-level sources in Congress and the federal government.
According to CQ Homeland Security, the report ?does not mention anti-government groups, white supremacists and other radical right-wing movements, which have staged numerous terrorist attacks that have killed scores of Americans.?
It is remarkable that there is no mention of the anti-abortion, militia, racist and homophobic groups that do not ?publicly ... promote nonviolence,? but rather openly advocate the killing of blacks, gays, abortion providers and government workers. Moreover, these groups have acted on their words.
Fascist, racist and anti-abortion groups are responsible for nearly all the terrorist attacks in the United States?with the exception of September 11, 2001?over the past two decades. These include the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, which killed 168 people, as well as bombings of abortion clinics and assassination of abortion providers, and multiple cases of individual rampages, like that of Benjamin Smith, who went on a killing spree directed at blacks, Jews and immigrants in 1999.
he existence of a sizeable support network for right-wing terrorists is indicated by the ability of Eric Rudolph, who carried out bombings at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and at abortion clinics in Atlanta and Birmingham, Alabama, to stay on the loose for more than five years. Captured in 2003 in rural North Carolina, Rudolph accepted a plea bargain last month which lifted the threat of execution and allowed him to remain silent on how and by whom he was sustained during his years on the run.
Also in 2003, a Texas white supremacist, William J. Krar, was arrested and pleaded guilty to charges of possessing chemical weapons of mass destruction?sodium cyanide bombs, which could have killed hundreds?as well as a huge stockpile of conventional arms.
