Useful Fools

Could a Phoenix eco-terrorist have contributed to the 9-11 attacks? Three of the terrorists trained in Phoenix, and the pilot of the Pentagon aircraft lived there. A Phoenix FBI agent warned about terrorist training at local flying schools. Unfortunately in 2001, the “Preserve Arsonist” was torching houses on the edge of the scenic Phoenix mountain preserve. The entire Phoenix FBI anti-terrorism squad was distracted trying to catch the him. Without that distraction, would they have stopped 9-11? We will never know.

The next time somebody tells you that eco-terrorism doesn’t hurt anyone (they just burn buildings, blah blah blah)… remind them of this.
