I posted about this after it happened. I do find it very strange that is has still not gotten more attention. Apparently it is necessary to be an Islamist to qualify as a terrorist. Being a southern white supremacist isn't good enough. Last I checked, public opinion was clear about Tim McVeigh being a "terrorist", even if there was a "domestic" stuck in the front..
