] Last month, an east Texas man pleaded guilty to
] possession of a weapon of mass destruction. Inside the
] home and storage facilities of William Krar,
] investigators found a sodium-cyanide bomb capable of
] killing thousands, more than a hundred explosives, half a
] million rounds of ammunition, dozens of illegal weapons,
] and a mound of white-supremacist and antigovernment
] literature.

] The case began in the fall of 2002 when a package bound
] for New Jersey was misdelivered to a New York address.
] The family inadvertently opened the package and found
] fake identification badges, including Department of
] Defense and United Nations IDs. The FBI eventually tracked
] the package back to Mr. Krar in Noonday, Texas.

] Featherston speculates that the Krar case got little
] attention because the arrests were made just after the
] war began in Iraq. "Excuse me, a chemical weapon was
] found in the home state of George Bush," says Levitas.
] "I'm not saying the Justice Department deliberately decided
] to downplay the story because they thought it might be
] embarrassing to the US government if weapons of mass
] destruction were found in America before they were found
] in Iraq. But I am saying it was a mistake not to give this
] higher profile."

Yes, we grow loonies too.
