Indonesian minister attaches terror tag to illegal loggers
Indonesia's environment minister on yesterday labeled illegal loggers "terrorists" for rampant deforestation said to be the main cause of a devastating flood on Sumatra island that left more than 200 people either dead or missing.

The flash flood on the western Indonesian island swept away scores of dwellings, many of which served as guesthouses for tourists visiting a famous orangutan reserve.

Rescuers with chain saws and bulldozers had pulled out 92 corpses by yesterday from debris -- mostly uprooted trees, logs, rocks and building materials -- piled two stories high.

Families reported more than 150 people missing, the private Metro TV yesterday quoted village chief Yusmaidah as saying. Officials cautioned, however, that some people who had left the area before the floods may appear on missing lists, inflating the figure.

You don't know it but you're all being played for Oswald patsies! I'd laugh if so many people didn't die. ABSOLUTELY 100% every Indonesian government official up to the President including Makarim was getting their cut from the 'illegal' logging. This is business this is life this part of a government officials salary.

We need to send these leaders to Guantanamo Bay for some torture interrogation!

1. It is a handy tag, isn't it?
Almost as good as "communist" used to be.

2. I got all riled up and didn't directly say what I meant.
President Wahid personally approved the 'terrorist' logging. Probably it's his company doing it. (Or his family members.) The only goal is to make money. A logging operation could not exist without 100% Wahid's approval.

The same has happened in the PI, Vietnam, Thailand... and the for the English 'Sheeple' onlookers the Governments respond with 'Illegal logging'. Our world is in really sad shape when our American Media Whores regurgitate such obvious lies. My question is:
1. Are our Media Whores lazy?
2. Are our Media Whores being paid off?
3. Are our Media Whores following orders from the American CEO Media Whores on what they can and cannot publish?
4. Are Media Whores hired who have a 'secret code' who automatically publish GOP Power Elite policy lies? (A secret code like that of Skull & Bones, The Knights of Malta...
5. I honestly think CBS has NOT started a 'Foreign 60 Minutes' not because of profitability, (viewer ratings), but because they know their crews would be assassinated while in the foreign countries.
(I wonder how long before the GOP starts assassinating American media systems which they don't control? But then I guess they'll just buy the corporation and fire the personnel. A Bloodless Assassination.)
