So I watched "if a tree falls" again. And I can't see labeling them "terrorist". Criminal, sure. I understand their motivation and I agree with some of the points. So are enviromentalist terrorists?

From the little I know, they aren't terrorists but some of the things they do are criminal. Seems like they could find better ways to get their point across. I'm all for saving the environment, lowering emissions for auto's and factories, expanding national parks, saving the Great Lakes, ect. But, this group, Environmental Liberation Front, seems to go too far at times.

Yes, I think they should be considered terrorists. Whether their actions are justified is another debate entirely.
