Two Stories In One: NY Times Reporter, We Leave Iraq, "Cataclysmic Violence" / Libtard Animal-Rights and Enviro-mental Group Terror
What One Reporter Thinks Would Happen if U.S. troops Left Iraq
Withdrawal Consequences
John Burns of The New York Times -- who is considered the best print reporter on the beat in Iraq -- disagrees with Democrats and other administration critics who think a U.S. troop withdrawal would make things better in Iraq.
Burns told Charlie Rose -- "It seems to me incontrovertible that the most likely outcome of an American withdrawal any time soon would be cataclysmic violence."
Burns says the Sunni minority has the most to lose. He said one senior American official told him that Sunni Vice President Tariq al-Hasimi -- when told of the serious possibility of a withdrawal -- said -- "then we will all be slaughtered."
Homegrown Terror
FBI officials say the most dangerous domestic terror groups in the U.S. might not be Islamic extremists -- but radical environmental and animal rights groups.
Recently-released excerpts of the National Intelligence Estimate say Americans can expect attacks from "single issue" groups within the next three years. In the past the FBI has said these include animal-rights and environmental groups.
Cybercast News reports a FBI counterterrorism official says actions such as the bombing of two California companies with ties to animal research in 2003 are part of "a relentless campaign of terror and intimidation." And a spokesman with the North American Animal Liberation group says the movement will use -- "any means necessary" to stop animal torture -- including violence.
