Alaska Update
New charges filed against militia members who plotted to kill state troopers and judges.
The charges also allege the Vernons plotted to kill an IRS agent, also likely related to the court case over $165,000 in taxes, interest and penalties that the government says they owe.
The second indictment alleges that Schaeffer Cox, the leader of the Alaska Peacemakers Militia, Lonnie Vernon and Coleman Barney conspired to possess illegal weapons. Cox is also accused of illegally possessing a Sten sub-machine gun and a silencer.
Of course, these people cannot by any stretch be considered terrorists, because they aren't mooslims, right Mr. King?
