| "Others [terrorists] are engaging even in an
eco-type
of terrorism whereby they can alter
the
climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of
electromagnetic
waves... So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are
at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other
nations...It's
real, and that's the reason why we have to intensify our
[counterterrorism]
efforts." Secretary of Defense William Cohen at an April 1997 counterterrorism conference sponsored by former Senator Sam Nunn. Quoted from DoD News Briefing, Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen, Q&A at the Conference on Terrorism, Weapons of Mass Destruction, and U.S. Strategy, University of Georgia, Athens, Apr. 28, 1997. |

| COMMENT: It is
probable that the US govt
is already using this technology for similar reasons. It also
needs to be reminded of its long history of state-funded
terrorism
against its indigenous peoples and its contribution
to international instability and tension. See statements below. |

not
waging a war on terror in this country. We're
waging a war of terror. The
biggest terrorist
in the world is George W. Bush!" Cindy Sheehan, San Francisco State University 2005 "The enormous gap between what US leaders do in the world and what Americans think their leaders are doing is one of the great propaganda accomplishments of the dominant political mythology."

| When
the United States aligns with dictatorships and totalitarian regimes,
it compromises the basic
democratic principles of its foundation --
namely, life, liberty and justice for all. Dictatorships such as
Musharraf's suppress individual rights and freedoms and empower the
most extreme elements of society. Oppressed citizens, unable to
represent themselves through other means, often turn to extremism and
religious fundamentalism. Benazir Bhutto, A False Choice for Pakistan |

| Every
country in the world, except America, knows by now that the US is the
world's leading state sponsor of terror and that the
neoconservative
drive for US hegemony over the world threatens the security of nations
everywhere. Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Treasury Secretary in the Reagan administration - CounterPunch |
