Not really where the area of domestic terrorism is concerned. It's a weird thing. I know several people in my local legal community who worked on the defense of Terry Nichols or Tim McVeigh from the OKC bombings. While I know nothing about McVeigh, I've heard Nichols is just the nicest, coolest guy around, except he helped pull a Ryder truck up next to a federal building and killed 168 people, including 19 children.
It's important for the public discussion because we tend to think of these terrorist types as "others," and we don't humanize them.
At least to me, that these kids could possibly be so angry with this country or maybe be so just batshit crazy that they'd do what they did. This shouldn't be so controversial. Mein Kamph is still in print, Quotations of Chairman Mao is still in print. Those guys were responsible for millions of deaths, but people want to know about them.
