Are Vegetarians Terrorists?

An exerpt from a recent Los Angeles Times article on the FBI watching politically active groups:

The murky connection that the federal government makes between some left-wing activist groups and terrorism was illustrated in a Justice Department presentation to a college law class this month.

An FBI counterterrorism official showed the class, at the University of Texas in Austin, 35 slides listing militia, neo-Nazi and Islamist groups. Senior Special Agent Charles Rasner said one slide, labeled "Anarchism," was a federal analyst's list of groups that people intent on terrorism might associate with.

The list included Food Not Bombs, which mainly serves vegetarian food to homeless people, and — with a question mark next to it — Indymedia, a collective that publishes what it calls radical journalism online. Both groups are among the numerous organizations affiliated with anarchists and anti-globalization protests, where there has been some violence.

OK, so according to the FBI, if you serve vegetarian food to the homeless in lieu of giving them bombs, you may be a terrorist.

Many meat eaters would argue that serving vegetarian food was a form of torture, so look for vegetarian meals to appear on the menu at Gitmo.
