Intent still a mystery in East Texas chemical weapons case

NOONDAY, Texas - William Krar and Judith Bruey built an arsenal in three rented storage units in this rural East Texas town and federal authorities still don't know why.

A federal raid in April 2003 found nearly half a million rounds of ammunition, more than 60 pipe bombs, machine guns, silencers and remote-controlled bombs disguised as briefcases. Pamphlets on how to make chemical weapons and anti-Semitic, anti-black and anti-government books were also discovered.

Beside containers of hydrochloric, nitric and acetic acids, agents found more than 800 grams of almost pure sodium cyanide, which can only be acquired legally for specific agricultural or military purposes. If the ingredients were mixed, they could create a bomb powerful enough to kill everyone inside a 30,000-square-foot building, federal authorities said. (snip)

"There's no other reason for anyone to possess that type of device other than to kill people," said Brit Featherston, an assistant U.S. attorney and the federal government's anti-terrorism coordinator in Texas' eastern district. "The arsenal found in those searches had the capability of terrorizing a lot of people."

1. And if instead of William and Judy

it had been Walid and Jamila, do you suppose you wouldn't be reduced to citing Canadian sources to let us all know about it?

2. The most extensive investigations since Oklahoma?

That's a joke right? The Oklahoma City bombing investigation was a massive coverup. It was a P2 type job.

6. IMO this has grown out of OK Bombing

Hammer’s manuscript is completely at odds with the official version of events the FBI has put forward to explain the Oklahoma City bombing.

According to this account, McVeigh was in Arkansas
April13, days before Bombing.

3. Because they hate us for our freedoms, of course (n/t)

4. OK, but what about the anthrax investigation?

Where are we on that? My Senator, Russ Feingold, had his office become contaminated from the Daschle letter. Don't you think someone knows the truth about the anthrax attacks?

There's been a coup of some type IMO. The rallying point is our Constitution. As an American I defend it. PATRIOT Act is bullshit, Viet Dinh, Ashcroft and other traitors should be locked up themselves and tried by the people.

7. Oohhh, this is a bad sign

My revolution-o-meter just jump a couple notches and stayed there.

This is bad news, people- where there's one cache like there, there is bound to be more, not posessed by the same people, but different people having the same ideas.

Sounds like the 'crazies' are seriously preparing themselves for civil war. This article is Not a Good Development.

8. There can be no civil war for the AHOLE pres. is the great uniter.
