What happened to that pizza guy with a neck bomb?
That was weird.

And, whatever came of that Department of State fellow who jumped to his death off that building? He was like,...near retirement.

:wtf:

1. Some things simply fade into history...
And remain unexplained for eternity.

Sun doesn't shine on Noonday discovery
9/11 focuses attention on threats from Islamic radicals, but murderous right-wing fanatics are still out there

By PAUL KRUGMAN
SYNDICATED COLUMNIST

In April 2003, John Ashcroft's Justice Department disrupted what appears to have been a horrifying terrorist plot. In the small town of Noonday, Texas, FBI agents discovered a weapons cache containing fully automatic machine guns, remote-controlled explosive devices disguised as briefcases, 60 pipe bombs and a chemical weapon -- a cyanide bomb -- big enough to kill everyone in a 30,000-square-foot building.

Strangely, though, the attorney general didn't call a news conference to announce the discovery of the weapons cache, or the arrest of William Krar, its owner. He didn't even issue a press release. This was, to say the least, out of character. Jose Padilla, the accused "dirty bomber," didn't have any bomb-making material or even a plausible way to acquire such material, yet Ashcroft put him on front pages around the world. Krar was caught with an actual chemical bomb, yet Ashcroft acted as if nothing had happened.

Incidentally, if Ashcroft's intention was to keep the case low-profile, the media have been highly cooperative. To this day, the Noonday conspiracy has received little national coverage.

At this point, I have the usual problem. Writing about John Ashcroft poses the same difficulties as writing about the Bush administration in general, only more so: The truth about his malfeasance is so extreme that it's hard to avoid sounding shrill.

8. Yup. And I have a problem with THAT!!!
Ignore, even "appease" or enable your "family skeletons",....while doing a reckless crusade against your neighbors. Stupid "Hatfield/McCoy" mindset,...cannot handle or adapt to change puke-spouts.

They are killing us.

They never earned the power above us,...

13. The "McVeigh Group" ...

There is still a group of right wing wackos out there that were highly involved with Timothy McVeigh. I heard a story on NPR one day and it absoluetly FLOORED me.

They brought up the infamous "John Doe #2" again and even a "John Doe #3". They brought up witnesses who claim to have seen other people with McVeigh.

They brought up how the FBI stifled investigations into peoples other than Timothy McVeigh.

The whole thing is just plain spooky.

3. This pizza guy's death was ruled a homicide.
And that someone put the bomb around his neck, but I haven't heard anything since then.

9. Most recent developments in pizza bomb case
The victim was cleared of any suspicion in the case.

A few months ago, the FBI released to the public a copy of the handwritten note the pizza man was given, in hopes someone would identify the handwriting or the writing style. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04042/271737.stm

There are a few people being questioned in connection to the case -- one is a gun nut who owns a machine shop (this guy fits the profile I would expect of someone involved in such a crime.
" A Crawford County (Meadville PA) gun dealer known for his outspoken criticism of government power was arrested on firearm violations Thursday after heavily armed federal agents raided his West Mead home and adjacent business.

Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives served a search warrant and took self-proclaimed "patriotic, Christian American" Darrell Sivik into custody at about 9 a.m. Sivik in past interviews called himself a patriotic, Christian American, a member of the Patriot Movement and a member of the Pennsylvania Militia."

Some more discussion here you might find interesting
