The article ominously notes: ” In the past year, federal agents have seen an increase in “chatter” from an array of domestic extremist groups, which can include radical self-styled militias, white separatists or extreme civil libertarians and sovereign citizens.”

Yo AP! How ’bout that court decision that said the Bush adminsitration massively violated the Constitution with its warrantless wiretaps?
Oh…. Maybe mentioning that would be “extremist.”
I wonder how long it will be before our government imitates the USSR and makes “hooliganism” a crime. It doesn’t seem very farfetched to me, what with the FBI suggesting that free speech is dangerous.
The FBI has a long history of getting the jitters around people who don’t deify the existing political order….
