other than the "people of color" part, the media coverage is actually a good question

really really....
| This is a tale of weapons of mass destruction found in Noonday, Texas. Two individuals living in this small Texas town were arrested on weapons charges ranging from firearms to deadly sodium cynanide bomb. Our maintream media, ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX and other major news out lets failed to inform us of these home grown terrorists. |
| I want to know why this story did not make the national news wires or national networks such as CBS, NBC, FOX, ABC, CNN? Is it because those involved are white individuals? I'd be willing to bet that if these were people of color, it would be a lead story repeated over and over for days if not months about finding WMD's here in our own back yard, America! |

| The discovery of a sodium cyanide bomb, a stockpile of components needed to make other chemical weapons and a cache of illegal arms has led to the arrests of three suspected domestic terrorists and prompted a nationwide hunt for possible co-conspirators who could be plotting a mass-casualty attack somewhere in the United States. |

their skin color would have anything to do with it.
a couple of teens in my hometown got stopped trying to carjack a vehical, which was to be used for a mass shooting spree in south jersey. they were white. it was national news. they are going to jail. end of story.
why this did not make national news, in my guess, is because the government tends to keep these things on the down low. it would spark hysteria. for the same reasons, our national threat level is not location based. they do not want to start panics. they figured they found a problem, they removed it, they dont want people to fear that their neighbor might be doing the same thing. besides, its Texas.

CIA agent leans in close to the president and whispers....
"Geraniums! It was an order for geraniums!" OOPS!

Noonday is about 5 miles down the road from me!
Of course, the story was all over our local news. Don't listen to the major news channels much.

This story was posted at Common Dreams - http://www.commondreams.org/ The question they asked was "Where was Ashcroft in all of this?" The article itself, originally posted in the Los Angeles Times is located here - http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0107-03.htm
Way too many important stories left out of mainstream press, for only one reason - politics.

Makes you wonder though, I mean that was just one place. We had a couple of guys who got popped at separate times. One guy in Ruskin had a garage full of LAW's, M-60's, Mortar's all different sized Tubes and Shells, Claymore Mines, Grenades, Ammo. He had been connected to the Army as a shipping clerk for deployments and when he got out he took a bunch of forms with him. He knew how to fill them out and he would have things sent on Amtrak to Tampa and pick the up in his Cammo-painted Dodge Puck Truck. He was busted about 11 years ago finally. Another guy got popped in Palm Harbor or Hudson, anyway they were after him for sell weed, but the narc noticed a Mortar Tube and Rounds and a .50 cal with ammo and a M-60 and ammo in the house so they busted him fast...
Wacko Survivalists are just as bad as Fanatical so called Muslims, the only difference is they haven't full stepped over the edge. Hell some have held kangaroo courts and have death warrants out on members of Congress, the Judicial System, FBI, and various offices in DC and / or State/Local Officials where they live.
scary stuff...

Terrorists aside...in what other country do you hear about serial killers, mail bombers, anthrax scares, corporate pollution, medical waste washing up on the beach, mothers killing all their kids and saying they were kidnapped, fathers killing their family and themselves, repeat DUI offenders with driver's licenses, dog attacks, drug rings, porn rings, movie stars and wrestlers as governors, etc. and we STILL haven't gone metric!
