Just what the Internet needs right now...
I'll try to see if I can find some bomb-making information from a non-US web site; it may help in counterarguments. Given that I'm still not that good at searching, it would be nice if someone else could locate it also. -Allen Reuters New Media _ Friday Febuary 2 4:54 PM EST _ Boys Arrested for Plotting Bomb NEW YORK (Reuter) - Three 13-year-old boys have been accused of plotting to blow up their school after learning how to build a bomb over the Internet, police said Friday. The boys were arrested Wednesday after other students at Pine Grove Junior High School in Minoa, New York, heard rumors of their plans and police were alerted, said Capt. William Bleyle of the nearby Manlius police department. [...] One of the boys, believed to be the ringleader, admitted to police that the three eighth graders learned how to build the bomb from instructions they found on the Internet, the global network accessible from home computers. ``The information is very easy to find,'' Bleyle said. ''It's at your fingertips. They just called it up.'' He said police found diesel fuel, a bag of fertilizer and other items -- the basic materials to build a bomb-- at the first boy's house. The boys found the information using a computer at home, not at school, said Gary Minns, superintendent of the East Syracuse-Minoa school district, about 250 miles northwest of New York City. The school is not hooked up to the Internet but had been considering it, he said. ``It goes way beyond what we would consider a prank,'' Minns said. ``Especially from Oklahoma City and the knowledge and awareness of the devastation these things can cause, to think they were even considering doing this type of thing is extremely disturbing.'' [...] The three boys had built and tested a bomb in a field behind an elementary school, Bleyle said. That bomb caught fire but did not explode. All three, who are being charged as juveniles, are accused of conspiracy, he said. They have been suspended from school. Police were still investigating their motives, Bleyle said, adding ``It was definitely to effect destruction on the school. It was not an idle threat. There was actual intent to carry this through. The destruction could have been enormous.''

Looks like I've just been placed into the ranks of the pyro-terrorist. Golly, Deisel fuel. Gosh, Fertilizer. Ma, other items. -- +----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ |Julian Assange | "if you think the United States has | |FAX: +61-3-9819-9066 | stood still, who built the largest | |EMAIL: proff@suburbia.net | shopping centre in the world?" - Nixon | +----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+
