ST. LOUIS -- Jim Bensman thought his suggestion during a public hearing was
harmless enough: Instead of building a channel so migratory fish could go
around a dam on the Mississippi River, just get rid of the dam.

Instead, the environmental activist found himself in hot water, drawing FBI
scrutiny to see whether he had any terrorist intentions.

The case "shows just how easy it is to be labeled a suspected terrorist," he
says.
