Everyone’s favorite iron-fisted neo-con/boy next door Cedrick “Skippy” MacGregor ’04 was overheard at Temple Bar on Saturday explaining his continued support for the recent course of U.S. Foreign Policy.

Since discovering the suspected plot earlier this month, police have arrested 12 people on charges ranging from weapons violations to supporting a terrorist organization...
...homes of other suspected gang members allegedly turned up 12 more kilos of explosives, grenades and detonators. The plot in Munich could be a sign that the fractious radical right is organizing itself into a terrorist network. There is increasing concern among politicians and law-enforcement officials that neo-Nazis could form a movement as organized and deadly as the Red Army Faction (raf), which carried out kidnappings, killings and bombings from the 1970s to the '90s. One investigator, who wished to remain anonymous, says German law enforcement takes the threat seriously, but rejects the raf comparison...
