Ala. terror Web site angers activists

By BOB JOHNSON, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 11 minutes ago

MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The Alabama Department of Homeland Security has taken down a Web site it operated that included gay rights and anti-war organizations in a list of groups that could include terrorists.

The Web site identified different types of terrorists, and included a list of groups it believed could spawn terrorists. The list also included environmentalists, animal rights advocates and abortion opponents.

The director of the department, Jim Walker, said his agency received a number of calls and e-mails from people who said they felt the site unfairly targeted certain people just because of their beliefs. He said he plans to put the Web site back on the Internet, but will no longer identify specific types of groups.

1. He probably didn't care until James Dobson pointed out to scrub that opponents of abortion rights

were included in the sweep.

did the list include the skinhead "Christian Identity" - type groups that actually hoard arms, drill in compounds and blow up Federal buildings?

hmmmm?

6. DHS forgot to include the "Save Firefly" website.

To: UPN

The Firefly community was shocked and outraged recently to hear that its beloved show will not be picked up for additional episodes on FOX. This petition is an attempt to show UPN that Firefly could find a new home, supported by its strong and dedicated fan-base. Firefly shows so much potential for greatness, that it would be a shame to ground it before it had even taken off. It is our belief that UPN can be smarter than FOX, and carry on the Firefly legacy that was just about to begin. Please save Firefly.

Thank You.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

8. As anti-establishment as Firefly was

and as militant as some of its fans are, you may have a point.

Then again, I'm as big a fan...just quieter about it.
