Missouri report on militias, terrorists draws criticism
Wed, 18 Mar 2009
A report was released on February 20th to Missouri law enforcement entitled “The Modern Militia Movement.” The document details how supporters of third party candidates (Ron Paul, Bob Barr, Chuck Baldwin) and conspiracy theorists may be deemed as “domestic terrorists.”
Libertarians and militia units have criticized the document, yet law enforcement officials insist that its just a document “examining trends” of modern militia units.

Critics lash out at Missouri militia report
A new document meant to help Missouri law enforcement agencies identify militia members or domestic terrorists has drawn criticism for some of the warning signs mentioned.
The Feb. 20 report called “The Modern Militia Movement” mentions such red flags as political bumper stickers for third-party candidates, such as U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, who ran for president last year; talk of conspiracy theories, such as the plan for a superhighway linking Canada to Mexico; and possession of subversive literature.
“It seems like they want to stifle political thought,” said Roger Webb, president of the University of Missouri campus Libertarians. “There are a lot of third parties out there, and none of them express any violence. In fact, if you join the Libertarian Party, one of the things you sign in your membership application is that you don’t support violence as a means to any ends.”
But state law enforcement officials said the report is being misinterpreted.
