"Domestic terrorists assault vice president"
Non-Violent Keystone XL Activists = 'Eco-Terrorists,' According to TransCanada Documents
Vague language also ensnares journalists, researchers and academics
Published on Friday, June 14, 2013 by DeSmogBlog.com by Steve Horn
Documents recently obtained by Bold Nebraska show that TransCanada - owner of the hotly-contested Keystone XL (KXL) tar sands pipeline - has colluded with an FBI/DHS Fusion Center in Nebraska, labeling non-violent activists as possible candidates for "terrorism" charges and other serious criminal charges.

NAIC says its mission is to "collect, evaluate, analyze, and disseminate information and intelligence data regarding criminal and terrorist activity to federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies, other Fusion Centers and to the public and private entities as appropriate."
