Hidden Stinger in Bush NIE release: Knowledge Driven Revolution

I was reading the release of Bush's NIE, which he has redacted to make his case that we must "stay the course" in Iraq. But my eyes popped out when I got to the end of it.

Here's the link: Declassified Key Judgments of the National Intelligence Estimate “Trends in Global Terrorism: Implications for the United States” dated April 2006

Now, here's the section that bothered me, or "terrorism, it's not just for Muslims anymore":

* Valtin's diary :: ::

Anti-US and anti-globalization sentiment is on the rise and fueling other radical ideologies. This could prompt some leftist, nationalist, or separatist groups to adopt terrorist methods to attack US interests. The radicalization process is occurring more quickly, more widely, and more anonymously in the Internet age, raising the likelihood of surprise attacks by unknown groups whose members and supporters may be difficult to pinpoint.

This sinister amalgam is to equate leftist, nationalists, anti-globalization activists, etc., with fundamentalist Islamic terrorism. It assumes such terrorism will occur, and, as such, is a set-up for a crackdown on such groups.

If the suspension of habeas corpus, the spread of state terror through the use of torture, and the labelling of U.S. citizens as "combatants" isn't enough, this quote should remind us of how the government is thinking of handling those who won't follow the Decider's dictates.

This is ominous. I won't have a lot of time to follow this diary tonight, as I'm still (don't tell anyone) at work, but felt this was important enough to get my point of view on it out right away.
