Man Allegedly Had Plan to Blow Up Milwaukee Federal Building

http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGBJIGJ5QZD.html

MILWAUKEE (AP) - A man in prison on drug offenses was charged Wednesday with threatening to blow up a federal building in downtown Milwaukee with a delivery truck filled with explosives.
Steven J. Parr, 39, was charged the same day he was to be sent to a halfway house in Janesville.

U.S. Attorney Steven Biskupic said Parr expressed hatred for the federal government and spoke about retaliating against law enforcement when he got out of prison.

He also said Parr considered himself a "separatist" and often talked about Timothy McVeigh, who bombed the federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995.

more...How come these guys never fit the definition of "terrorist" and are not identified as such by the media? What? Are they the wrong color or religion to be called a terrorist or something? Was McVeigh not a terrorist either? Wonder what they would be calling him if he were a black Muslim? What do you think?

2. simple, McVeigh was a right-wing terrorist, abetted by people

like Liddy and Limpbag. In a way, he was a victim too. Just too dumb to figure it out.

"The only people he dealt with were FBI agents and informants ... this had nothing to do with any terrorist group," U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald told a news conference in the building Nettles was suspected of targeting.

"Today's action is not related to the nation's current terrorism threat level. Nettles was always acting alone and had no connections to any terrorist organization," Fitzgerald said.
