Episode 4: Ghosts and myths
Description
In 2005 Joe Dibee fled America – leaving everything behind.
Speaking in Summer 2021, as he awaits what he hopes will be a trial date, Joe tells Leah and Georgia about life out of reach of the FBI, and his eventual capture in Cuba.
As they faced - or face - years behind bars, Leah Sottile explores what that word, terrorist, meant for the environmentalists who had become a ‘domestic terror priority’.

Someone recommended this podcast to me. They said it was really well done and I've enjoyed some other BBC podcasts so I figured I would give it a shot. Honestly, this podcast is a juvenile attempt to whitewash criminal actions by a group of intellectually lazy arsonists and give them a platform to complain. Criminality and terrorism don't magically become something else just because you agree with their stated goals. 🙄
