No link yet, only from live broadcast:
In a press release just handed to Fox by the FBI, the six Michigan residents, two from Ohio, one from Indiana are charged with “seditious conspiracy.”
Reportedly, Hutaree is accused of attempted use of weapons of mass destruction. Charges range from August 2008 to today. The militia group Hutaree are said to have conspired to oppose by force the authority of the US Government.
The members viewed local, state and federal law enforcement as "the brotherhood," also known as their enemy, and have been preparing, the FBI says, to engage them in armed conflict.
According to one plan released by the FBI, the group was to kill a law enforcement officer, then during the funeral precession, hit again with IEDs to kill more LEOs.

Noticed that, did you? Hmm.
I agree with you that we should be going after the Muslim training camps/compounds, but I'm not sure why you're describing the charges here as "B/S charges." If the allegations in the indictment are borne out, these are not B/S charges - Conspiracy to commit a crime is itself a crime. Conspiring to kill police officers is a crime.
Let's not jump to any conclusions in either direction here, folks.
Actually, another poster here mentioned that the nutty black group in Miami, Seeds of David, was charged with seditious conspiracy. That would have been a couple of years ago, IIRC.
Well I hope he was "citing" them as opposed to "sighting" them because "sighting" them could be construed as some kind of "seditious conspiracy".
Certainly. How many infilitrators you suppose they have in the various Muslim groups of Dearbornistan and vicinity?
They burned a UN Flag in their video.
They also contributed to global warming.
Google definition of Sedition: an illegal action inciting resistance to lawful authority and tending to cause the disruption or overthrow of the government
I checked because I wanted to see if it’s illegal to just “plot” or “Plan” something. It is.
We know that’s wrong. Doesn’t mean we need our own wackos bombing up the streets.
I hope more than a few!
That was back in the early 70s in Michigan. I never had to produce an ID of any kind to buy powder, primers or bullets.
I also bought several black powder pistol kits because I could and thus I owned handguns. Granted, they were muzzle loaders but I still had them. They were really fun to make too.
Also purchased several muzzle loading long guns. No ID required, at least where I lived.
I agree and while the charges have been made public thus far they do seem not that serious right now to go ahead and do raids around the country unless they have evidence that there was a serious threat of which they have not.
It seems that this fits in with their attack on the right and take the conversation away from health care.
Palm Sunday and the man just happens to leave the country and the attacks on the right all fit in with changing the subject away from health care and how companies have said they stand to lose a lot of money . However if they were dong threats and panning to kill etc then they should be charges but the timing of this is very very very suspicious indeed.
Remember how Anita Dunn the mass killer lover said they controlled the media message? Well here they are again doing it and the media are either too stupid or want to do what the white house wants.
Either way this is sickening to what is going on in this country right now.
there is no right wing and left wing
there is total government (10) and zero government (0)
better to look at where folks are at on that scale
What number would you give Obama?
What number would you give yourself? I’m probably about a 4.
I feel a Servetus moment coming on. :>)
LOL...guess it was a statement of the obvious. Just putting it out there for the thread record.
CNN says militia group tied to Tea Party
If an IED is classified as a WMD, then Iraq had WMDs and our invasion of them was totally legitimate and accpetbale to the liberals. After all, they've made that the sticking point ("where are the WMDs?"). Well they've been using them against us since the start.
Orrrrrrr, an IED is NOT a WMD and these militia people (of whatever stripe) can't be charged with it.
My guess would be that they are a closet moslem group just set up to discredit Christians. These plans (if they indeed were making such plans) are not in accordance with the scriptures. They line up perfectly with the koran however.
The key phrase is "attempted to hire." That's an act, not just talk. When you act, then a law kicks in. Before that, it's just speech. If you just spout off about things, it's protected speech. If you start actively planning to commit a crime, and if you join with one or more other people who actively plan to commit a crime, then that's criminal conspiracy.
good info. So they do have some real charges in this mess, however pipebombs are always a stretch, how many people have blackpowder and PVC pipe in the house. Did you see what kind of explosives they were using?
Doh! I forgot the kicker:
(See paragraph e., page 7 of the Indictment.)
The defendant conspirators were attempting to go to Kentucky to attend a militia summit to “facilitate better communication, cooperation and coordination between various militias”... (First Amendment?)
but weather conditions prevented them from going.
Wow. Very impressive prosecutors.
