Christian militia accused of plotting to kill copsOn the one hand these arrests provide evidence that DHS's warnings about right-wing extremist groups were legitimate.
On the other hand, I'm not sure that I trust the FBI's version of the story in this case anymore than in cases involving home-grown Islamic terrorists.
Were the so-called Christian militia members in fact capable of carrying out their alleged plans? - or were they just talking trash?
Did an FBI informant provide most or all of the plausible operational means?
Yes - I am ambivalent, and will adopt a wait-and-see attitude.
Again, nothing would delight me more than to learn that, yes indeed!, these folks had serious intent coupled with imminent plans to act... but past 'terrorist' cases have hung on dubious FBI assertions.
