HOUGHTON -- Federal and state law enforcement officials remained on the Michigan Tech University campus late Monday after bombs found at two university buildings were disarmed. Radical environmentalists are considered possible suspects, a county official said.

The bombs, described by university spokesmen as the "real thing," were discovered early Monday morning by campus public safety officers at the U.J. Noblet Forestry Building and the U.S. Forest Service Engineering Laboratory.

I agree.

Following Rueters lead on not labelling 9/11 hijackers as terrorists, but rather those engaging in a "Holy war", they will see fit to describe the perps of this incident as "Ideological Warriors".

Radical environmentalists are considered possible suspects...

Impossible. As the media has joyfully pointed out during the recent anthrax 'scare', "if it ain't foreign terrorists, it's gotta be them domestic right-wing militia extremists".

[Cuttnhorse]

The protected home grown terrorists have had a free rein since Jake Reno took its oath to screw and destroy America in 1993.
That's exactly right...these nut cases have had a free ride for the last 10-years and it is time that they are targeted just as intensly as the towel-heads. The low level of aprehension and prosecution of these left-wing idiots is a national embarassment.

[Cuttnhorse]

"if it ain't foreign terrorists, it's gotta be them domestic right-wing militia extremists".
Correct...these idiots have a lot more in common with Al Gore than with Ronald Reagan.

when i was in college we used to say that the only things to do at MTU was to play hockey

Where the heck is Michigan Tech?

Didn't we at UW yell 'sieve' at your goalie? (UW Class of '72). Aplogies if you're not a Husky.

[culpeper]

Well said !!! It still baffles me that these people freely roam our country. Arrest the damn spokesman and get him to give up some names. This is a freaking travesty of justice.

...A Liberal is never identified. A conservative, always. A right-winger is always identified, a left-wing, never. A hero's welcome reaction is never reported for a Republican - act as if it never happened. A massive raspberry reaction to a Democrat is never reported and additionally requires immediate censoring in any media archives...

No, see, it's OKAY to be a terrorist if you're doing it for the RIGHT reasons, like environmentalism. If we all did our part to protect Mother Earth, then they wouldn't be forced to blow us up to teach us the error of our ways. /barf

[Cuttnhorse]

No one considers themself an extremeist, so it is difficult to label those with the same views extremist.
As far as the "mainstream" media is concerned, there are only thoughtful, intelligent, moderates and right-wing extremists; you will NEVER hear anyone described as left-wing.

Wait until one of their ecobombs kill a bunch of people. Then we'll hear plenty.

Radical environmentalism = scruffy people dressed in wierd looking rags

5. Methods used to advance agenda:

We need to cut down the trees those ELF bastards live in. If they happen to be present at the time - extra points.

[Grampa Dave]

Stefan, great comparison of the enviro terrorists and the Islamic Goathumping terrorists!

I hope that we get to following the money from the super rich Arabs who hate America/Americans and funding of various enviral organizations. These enviral organizations have worked hand in hand with the Opecker states to make us more dependent on Opecker oil! I am sure that tons of money has flowed into these envirals coffers since 1973, the first of the phoney oil shortages!

[Chemist_Geek]

I hope they are not the ONLY possible suspects being considered. If memory serves correct, weren't there some post-911 connections to Michigan?

Other end of the state. MTU is waaaaay up north on the Keeweenau Peninsula. (That's the part of the UP which dangles out into Lake Superior like a barb on a fishhook.) The Middle Eastern enclave is in Dearborn, immediately to the west-southwest of Detroit.

God alone knows why anyone would want to bomb MTU. There is nothing there but snow and ice.

[mlocher]

sorry, i am a spartan, 1979 and 1981. yes, you used to yell 'sieve' to our goalie as well. we used to sing nasty songs about bob johnson to the tune of the UW fight song. i wished MSU was still in the WCHA...

[concerned about politics]

It really would not surprise me if we discovered that it was a group, such as this one mentioned, who was flooding the country with Anthrax. Maybe we should declare war on our universities.

I've always said the anthrax was radical left wing anti-capitalist taking advantage of Pig Ladins hit and run.
It's always been my opinion.
Hope they catch these crazy left wing zealots.
"Mother earth" wouldn't be there to defend them!
When asking who would benifet most from the attacks, the answer is always the left wing terrorist groups , politicians, and their other socialist cronies.

MTU alumni checking in (BSEE '92).

I have to say, da 'Tech is one of the most conservative public campuses in the country. In the 60's, protests actually broke out in favor of the Vietnam War. Rumor has it that MTU was the birthplace of Agent Orange...rumor backed up by the excellent Forestry & Chemistry departments, plus warm warm ties with Dow Chemical...

Wadsworth Hall even has a students' weapon locker! So believe me, the @$$#0L3$ that messed with my alma mater have messed with the wrong school!

(BTW, there is more than ice and snow to the Keewenaw Penninsula - like incredible pristine beauty....)
