Oregon, a state that has been targeted at least 29 times since 1980 by so-called "eco-terrorists," is now home to the nation's first organization exclusively dedicated to tracking and eliminating eco-terrorism. The organization, Stop Eco-Violence, was cofounded by a former spokesperson for a building products company, a Portland State University terrorism expert, and a conservative Los Angeles fundraiser, with the support of a Washington, D.C.-based public relations firm that specializes in giving makeovers to industry groups on the rocks.
