Feds had undercover agent inside Hutaree 9 group say the Associated Press & Ann Arbor.com.

Based on what the news stories say the Feds don't seem to have much else except for an undercover snitch and a pissed off ex-wife. So we'll see what the Feds really have (other than the Obama administration's need to find a bogeyman to scare people) in the way of evidence against them if and when this whole mess goes to trial. And despite the mass media propaganda campaign not everyone thinks this case is a slam dunk.

And, just to poison the well further, it is reported that one of Hutaree 9 may have shot a feral cat. Anyone who'd kill a wild cat in cold-blood is definitely a danger to national security, you see.
