About Me



About the Site

The War on Terrorism has come home. Corporations and politicians are labeling activists "eco-terrorists" and national security threats. Think red-baiting, with a green twist. Here you'll find original reporting and analysis of the Green Scare, and history repeating itself.

Will has written for publications including The Chicago Tribune, The Dallas Morning News and Legal Affairs, and has testified before the U.S. Congress about his reporting.

My Interests

Fighting the Green Scare and the new McCarthyists.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone concerned about the rapid erosion of civil liberties in this "War on Terrorism." Animal rights activists and environmentalists are just the canaries in the mine: this "terrorism" rhetoric and legislation can, and will, be applied to other social movements.
