Daniel McGowan on Democracy Now

Facing Seven Years in Jail, Environmental Activist Daniel
McGowan Speaks Out About the Earth Liberation Front, the Green Scare and the
Government's Treatment of Activists as "Terrorists"*

Last week McGowan was sentenced to seven years in prison for his role in two
acts of arson in Oregon in 2001. The judge ruled that one of the fires was
an act of terrorism. He was sentenced along with nine other environmental
activists ­ the government compared the activists to the Ku Klux Klan. We
also speak with Lauren Regan of Civil Liberties Defense Center.
