These militia members begin with America's innate suspicion of the government and take it to the level of the paranoid. Their nuttiness makes it difficult to take these guys seriously, fertilizer bombs and assault rifles notwithstanding...
...federal judge sentenced Francisco Martin Duran to 40 years in prison. Duran was convicted of trying to kill President Clinton when hesprayed the White House with bullets last October.
