From a news story regarding Ryan Anderson:

Anderson was raised in the Lutheran faith but began studying Islam while attending Washington State University. He's been described by high-school classmates in Everett as a paramilitary enthusiast who was passionate about guns.

Anderson caught the attention of federal agents last year with help from a Montana city judge.

The judge, Shannen Rossmiller of Conrad, Mont., testified at Anderson's Article 32 hearing in May that she monitors the Web for signs of extremist or terrorist activity. Rossmiller contacted the federal Homeland Security Department, which put her in touch with the FBI.

Soon Anderson was text-messaging a federal agent he believed was a member of al-Qaida. The conversations culminated in a face-to-face meeting with two undercover investigators in Seattle. The hourlong discussion was secretly recorded Feb. 9, just days before Anderson was to deploy to Iraq.

Three days later, Anderson was arrested at his home.



Please introduce yourself and say "Hi".

I take it that there isn't much going on in the Montana court system? Is this your favorite site?

Actually there was already a news story about this, the web site she was monitoring was an Islamic Fundamentalist website, not ARFCOM. Come on guys, it isn't always about us.

Besides what would be the point? The Feds would be lucky to get there in time to find anything left if somebody came onto ARFCOM and started talking about how they would like to sell out America to Islamic fundamentalists.
