I should link to David Neiwert more often

Unfortunately, I didn't have him blogrolled until now. And he's often horribly depressing. And too often correct.

Orcinus-Why domestic terrorism matters: Apropos of last night's post abouth the white supremacists who had put together a lethal poison-gas bomb that they planned to detonate somewhere in the United States:

At least one weapon of mass destruction -- a sodium cyanide bomb capable of delivering a deadly gas cloud -- has been seized in the Tyler area.

This means, of course, that we have now found more weapons of mass destruction in Texas, in the hands of domestic terrorists, than we have in Saddam Hussein's Iraq.

Notably, this is the second such case already this year, and both have been cracked due to sheer blind luck. Another recent domestic-terrorism attack was prevented because relatives and friends grew concerned. One has to wonder how long we're going to stay lucky.
