>>Well, it isn't hard to dismiss the dots when they're ambiguous. Some of these 'dot's only exist in certain people's minds. when the real dots are intermixed with the made up dots, it becomes hard to know whats true anymore.

>>Kevin, let's take stock here - an anti-American ass-clown who has slammed America, wants to build a mosque devoted to Islam - near the 9/11 site - in the very country that he rips and says is worse that A.Q..

>>He ought to thank his lucky stars he could do that in American - in other Muslim countries, wanting to put up a shrine to celebrate different points of view could get him shot. He's in a country where he can do that and have freedom of speech rights...and rips the very country that provides him that freedom.

>Who was in the news yesterday, BTW, in a very weird article on cnn.com. It was about a guy named Leo Burt -- no clear reason for the article because I don't think there is anything new about him -- who was part of a group of three who set off a bomb at UW-Madison in the Vietnam protest era. It was at the Army Math Research Center, which was actually on campus, and was meant to be symbolic. They set the bomb off at 3 a.m. so no one would be hurt. Unfortunately a researcher was pulling an all nighter and was killed. They took off and went onto the FBI's most wanted list. The two other guys, brothers named Karl and Dwight Armstrong, were apprehended. Leo Burt has never been found. (I have always thought that would be a great book title). The cnn article said he has still not been found, which struck me sort of like "Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead." The weird part was calling the Madison bombing the biggest terrorist attack in the U.S. before Timothy McVeigh. Oh really? Not to diminish the death of the researcher but one person killed does not strike me as belonging on a biggest terrorist attack list.

>I had a very remote link to the gang of three. I arrived in Mad Town a few years later and worked at a restaurant called Gino's. (Unlike a lot of Italian restaurants by that name, it was actually owned and run by a guy named Gino). When I read that Karl Armstrong had worked there as a dishwasher I asked Gino if that was true. :"Yes," Gino said. "He was-a not a good dishwasher." Not making fun of him, that was the way he talked. Gino could come across as gruff but would give you the shirt off his back once he trusted you. Anyway, it struck me as funny that his summary of Dwight Armstrong was not a good dishwasher.

>Before the big bomb they did a symbolic attack on a munitions plant in Baraboo. It was a homemade bomb, probably less lethal than some of your July 4 fireworks. They dropped it from a plane in the middle of the night, Dwight flying. The bomb was housed in a house dressing container from Gino's. The joke when I was working there was it was just straight house dressing.

>Dwight Armstrong died a few weeks ago. Karl Armstrong served his prison sentence and then returned to Madison, operating a juice stand called Loose Juice near the main library. And Leo Burt has never been found.

>UPDATE: My memory is fading. There were four guys, not three. The fourth was a lightly involved student named David Fine who evidently thought he was participating in a late night college prank. He went onto the fugitive list as well and was caught and imprisoned.

There are not too many missing 60's radicals left - in part due to age and of course a few have either surrendered or finally been caught.
Katherine Ann Power surrendered in 1993 and I heard Marilyn Buck died a few weeks ago. Of course Joanne Chesimard is still in cuba.
