Investigators on Friday were looking into the history of a man who they say shot two police officers at a Pentagon entrance Thursday evening.
The shooter, identified by a law enforcement source as John Patrick Bedell, appears to have railed against the government repeatedly on the Internet.
Through podcasts and a Wikipedia page, a man identified online as JPatrickBedell cast the government as a criminal force destroying personal liberties.
"This seizure of the United States government by an international criminal conspiracy is a long-established reality," the man said in a podcast in November 2006, which also was published as text online.
Such an organization, the man said, "would use its powers to convert military, intelligence, and law enforcement bureacracies (sic) into instruments for political control and the domination and subjection of society, while discrediting, destroying, and murdering honest individuals within those services that work to root out corruption and faithfully serve their fellow citizens."

When will they post his DU screen name I wonder?
I read that he was being treated for depression and knew there was nothing more to see.
“anti-government” in the headline implies “anti-Obama”. I loathe the pravda media. Boycott Time-Lies-Warner-CNN
If he ever trolled here, they will be happy to publish his nom de plume and mention Free Republic in the headline.
I can understand this guy or anyone being mad or even fed up with the federal, state or local gub mint,But what did his actions accomplish?
Nothing but show him as a crazy.
And the injuring of innocents.
Good thing he was a lousy shot and no one was killed.
Gore Truther
911 Truther...
What else will we learn while only hearing Tea Party mentioned?
Must be a tea party founder, seeing that his “anti gov” rants were noted even 3 years before the tea party started.
So he was taking about the Bush administration.
2006 right? Wonder why he waited til now?
Could it be he came to not trust the ONE.
He was ahead of his time apparently :)
CNN has never let the facts get in the way of good political hit piece. Why would they start now?
This guy shot up the Pentagon because white people hate our dear leader. Get with the program.

Uh-huh.
And I read that carp on DU an awful lot: 'Chimpy', 'Bushco', 'Darth Cheney', 'FEMA Camps for 'protesters'', etc, etc,
The wacko was prolly a Platinum member of DU, Huffie Post and Daily Kos.
No mention from CNN that this guy is also a militant Bush hater and a 9/11 Truther.
