It might be as simple as someone throwing rocks through windows during a demonstration. And the "somehow associated" might well be an agent provocateur.

But once they have an excuse to label OWS and Anonymous "terrorist" organizations, then they get to use ALL of their "anti-terror" laws and weapons against them both.

Given the Administration's current record, I have no reason whatsoever to think that they are NOT moving in this direction.
