From the Paper:

"Since the 1800s, terrorism has had a rich history in the United States. From armed militias that reeked havoc during the days of the Old West to Timothy McVeigh's ruthless bombing in Oklahoma City to eco and animal-rights terrorism, terrorists have made their names known by the violence they have caused. Because terrorism has become such a potent issue in the United States since September 11th, however, the government and public now know much more about terrorists than they have in the past. By understanding terrorists' operations and training, relationships with the media, and domestic terrorism, the phenomenon of modern terrorism can be known and understood."
