<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Yes, I think the motive for eco-terrorism is undeniable. When we were talking about that article about the activist opposition to shipping oil by rail last week in the <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Oil By Rail Part 2</span> thread, I mentioned that they would seize on the next oil train derailment and use it as their poster child for their opposition against shipping oil by rail. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">At that time, I was actually thinking about the possibility of such a derailment being caused by the very people who would want it as a symbol of their argument that it is too dangerous to ship oil by rail. But I did not predict it or even mention it. Then this Lac-Megantic disaster occurred on Sunday, and those thoughts I had about the possibility of eco-terrorism have been on my mind again since the wreck on Sunday.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Whatever the motive for a terrorist attack, it certainly would not be farfetched for terrorism to have been the cause. After all, the authorities have been warning about the scenario of using a train as a method of terrorism for at least 15 years. </span></p>
