"Anarchist Milita" In Army Plotted to Overthrow Government, Capture Bases, Assassinate President; Also Murdered Another Soldier and His 17-Year-Old Girlfriend to "Cover Their Tracks"

Death penalty? Yes please.

One guy has been permitted to plead to manslaughter in exchange for information about the other terrorists. The rest, though, could hang.

One of the plotters described himself as "the nicest cold-blooded murderer you will ever meet."

Incidentally, it's murder all the way down with these guys:

Pauley said Aguigui funded the militia using $500,000 in insurance and benefit payments from the death of his pregnant wife a year ago. Aguigui was not charged in his wife's death, but Pauley told the judge her death was "highly suspicious."

Lately it keeps occurring to me that for some, "politics" is just a way to dress up a deep-down sociopathy in "heroic" terms. You see a lot of this on both sides; loathsome people use the pretext of "politics," right or left, to justify cruelty and murder and terrorism.

"Anarchist"? It's an old trick of the media to call Neo-Nazis "right-wing" but then simply call left-wingers what they identify themselves as. "Anarchists," for example.

Now, I initially thought these guys had to be right-wing (or what the media terms "right-wing") because I could not imagine a left-wing motive here.

But a commenter points out the left wing is extremely angry about poor Bradley Manning, America's Pluckiest Little Traitor.

So I guess that is an open possibility, and would explain the media not immediately calling these guys "rightwing."

I do find that very suspicious. I find it suspicious that this isn't the biggest story in the media. If it's not, there must be a reason the media is in "let's be restrained here" mode.

Not sure, obviously. But I am wondering about that.
