American Experience (PBS) will be presenting "Oklahoma City" soon ...

This two-hour documentary covers the background to OC -- the standoffs at Ruby Ridge and Waco, and the radical right's reaction to those events -- as part of a continuing story of anti-government anger and hatred, not of an isolated incident.

This will be carried on World Channel (APT digital channel 3(?)) in our area, and is available via iTunes, DVD, or online viewer now.

It is hard to imagine something more timely than a discussion of a terrorist movement that has seen so many Americans die at the hand of their fellow Americans. Don't let the bogeyman of refugee "terrorists" divert attention from the real, homegrown, threat.

Absolutely chilling. I had no idea of the reach of the white power militias at the time.
