After awhile, it ceased to surprise me when these cases were buried during the Bush administration -- which treated terrorism mostly as a marketing tool. It's a relief to see them get the handling they deserve now.

Heaven forbid the Bush Administration ever admit that white, Western-religion-oriented natives of America could ever be terrorists for right-wing extremist reasons. Their scapegoats were all brown people. They wouldn't dare let it be known that typical Americans can be just as evil, just as dangerous and just as deranged as Islamic extremists.

The GOP doesn't want to antagonize the bottom of its base.
