so apperantly I'm not the only one who thinks so too...

excellent article on Green is the New Red
by Will Potter on the Seattle Arson and the media's effect on the Briana Waters' Trial.

The jury is currently divided on Briana Water's trial. For those not familiar with Briana Waters she is a environmentalist that has been accused by snitches (who get shortened sentences by implicating her) of having a role in an ELF arson in the Center of Horticulture in the University of Washington. She is pleading innocent and facing a minimum of 35 years in prison. statement made by the Olympia Civil Liberties Union:
"One thing that is certain to those close to the case is that the arson Monday has only damaged Briana's chances of getting a fair verdict. The corporate media have consistently pointed out how curious the timing of the arson is, with the "UW Ecoterror Trial" still going on, further linking Briana with a shadowy ELF underground in the minds of the public. Anyone should have been able to predict the negative impact of an action like this on Briana's trial, and that just makes this whole event even more frustrating.

There are many reasons to view this fire and it's motivations as suspicious, and there is not yet any evidence that it was actually based on environmental motivations. The vast majority of arsons in this country are caused for run-of-the-mill reasons, and fraud or financial reasons are some of the biggest. The media seem all too happy to jump to conclusions about the people who started those fires based on the most preliminary investigations. Also there have often actions by agent provocateurs during political trials throughout history."
