The FBI will file a rare “letter of regret” and pay environmentalist Josh Connole $100,000 after mistakenly arresting him for domestic terrorism, The Los Angeles Times reported yesterday. Agents followed Connole for several days in 2003, after arson-vandalism attacks at four Southern California car dealerships in which gas-guzzlers were spray-painted with phrases like “Fat, Lazy Americans.” His suspicious activities included living communally with fellow vegans, installing solar panels, protesting the Iraq war, and (horrors!) driving an electric car.
