Gov't moves fast on wrong end

In an article about the Terri Schiavo case:

Also Friday, the FBI said a man was arrested in Fairview, N.C., on charges of sending an e-mail threat, allegedly for offering a $250,000 bounty for Michael Schiavo's death and $50,000 for that of a judge in the case. The FBI did not identify the judge.

Richard Alan Meywes allegedly sent the e-mail Tuesday to two Tampa-area news organizations and the host of a national conservative talk show, the FBI said.

Kill your wife over a period of one to two weeks, and the courts will drag their feet like a UNC point guard just to do nothing. Threaten to attempt to hire someone to kill a murderer, and they'll have you in cuffs within 3 days.

Granted, Meywes' actions were stupid. But he has nothing on the government.
