While we take note of these dangerous developments (state sponsored/supported
terrorism) please let's keep the record straight. Do you really think
of the "Green-Peace" organization as a terrorist group?

But yes, I agree that state terrorism is deplorable in the extreme. The
incident involving "Green-Peace" (besides other examples) just goes to
show that govt(s) are not only justifying the use of terrorist means
against terrorists, but also against groups in the opposition.
