"...the ecoterrorist is a Genius..."

Actually, Ted K, the Unibomber, is a sad case of clear mathematical and mechanical genius being twisted and torn by mental illness. To bill him as a "Mad Genius" is fairly accurate. (a crazy person with a really high IQ) It does not seem that they were trying to be flattering. Comparing the two photos, Rush clearly was given better treatment.
