Eco-Terrorism

NPR's John Nielsen reports on the growing number of radical eco-terrorist groups. These groups advocate sabotage and economic injury as the only ways to get the attention of the organizations they are fighting. The extreme strategies of these groups -- from arson to the mass destruction of bioengineered plants -- have some in the field afraid to go to work.
