From an article in The Christian Science Monitor by Kris Axtman about terrorist weapons found in Texas:

The fact is, the number of domestic terrorist acts in the past five years far outweighs the number of international acts, says Mark Pitcavage of the fact-finding department at the Anti-Defamation League. "We do have home-grown hate in the United States, people who are just as ill-disposed to the American government as any international terrorist group," he says.

(I got the link from misia, who got it from trinker, who got it from elynne.)

Bonus quote, about conservatives' reactions to this story, from elynne: "Wow. When the righties and lefties are making the same complaints against the current govnt., you know there's something seriously amiss."

And a more politically-pointed quote from the article: "Experts say the case highlights the increased cooperation and quicker response by US agencies since Sept. 11. But others say it points up just how political the terror war is. 'There is no value for the Bush administration to highlighting domestic terrorism right now,' says Robert Jensen, a journalism professor at the University of Texas in Austin. 'But there are significant political benefits to highlighting foreign terrorists, especially when trying to whip up support for war.'"
