Credible enough for the Green Party to put it on their web site. greenparty.org Apparently not credible enough for anybody to pick up the story, though. Something's going on here, one way or the other. Given that the Green Party has a certain level of national legitimacy, my gut feeling is that they didn't make this up. I remember stories from the Central American peace movement in the '80s that I disbelieved at the time, that turned out to be true. We'll see, or maybe more frighteningly, we won't.

Unfortunately, I find it credible, though of course there will be another side presented, and it will suggest that she is a terrorist threat of some sort, probably as an "eco-terrorist," since she's Green Party. But then I believe that establishments will do anything they can get away with to suppress dissent, and that includes labeling it terrorism. (There is actual terrorism being machinated at this moment in our country, and we have, as I have said, long been naive on this score. But power corrupts, and the U.S.A. Patriot Act gives much power that will, inevitably, be corrupted into dissent-suppression.)
