The Boston Herald is a right wing newspaper that plays fast and loose with the facts. It's pretty clear that in this article that they are just rewriting press releases from the FBI. This nonsense doesn't portray the ABCF accurately or the anarchist movement in Boston.

Evidently the FBI has gotten tired of scaring people with Arabic "terorist" bogeymen.

Speaking of bogus scare tactics, does anybody know when the last time the terrorism alert system was changed colors? Did the Bush administration drop these color-coded scare tactics once they got re-elected?

Here's a comment from Infoshop News on the Boston Herlad garbage:

"Apparently this is the woman who also wrote the "Eastie Gang linked to Al-Qaida" article and a couple of other stories that have been making the rounds on the Right. She came from the NY Daily News and she's a "crime reporter". She wrote a book about petty mobsters in Miami. If you look at her history with the other rag it's all "Mass Held for Infant Found in Trash," "Mexican Gangs on the Warpath," "Central Park Terror." I also found a transcript where she was talking on right wing talk radio about the Russian mob."
