again, i sit here and wonder

what WOULD constitute a 'credible' threat. sure it sounds like these dudes were doing their very best three stooges impression. sure they had to be less than mensa members for driving a truck FULL of weapons and wigs and bullet proof vests AND DRUGS (in someone else's name) like you're in the chase scene from the french connection. sure at least ONE of the stooges (and i mean NO offense to the three stooges here. i have a framed pictures of the stooges on my desk at work) said they wanted to kill one of the presidential candidates. but i must wonder if the stooges had the OTHER candidate on their wipe out list would they then be charged with something other than drug possession? what do YOU think?

No assasination charges for 'meth heads' who discussed killing Obama

DENVER -- Three men who were in Denver with sniper rifles, camouflage clothing, bullet-proof vest and rental trucks who had talked about killing Barack Obama posed "no credible threat" to the Democratic presidential candidate's life, a federal prosecutor said Tuesday.

US Attorney Troy Eid, who charged the three men this week on lesser weapons and drug charges, described the suspects simply as "meth-heads" whose drug-addled fantasies of killing Obama were merely "aspirational," and he said their actions did not show that they were serious enough about killing the Illinois senator to charge them with attempted assassination of a presidential candidate.

Eid, speaking to reporters during an afternoon press conference at his office here, said numerous federal and local law enforcement agencies, including the Secret Service, FBI and ATF, were continued to do everything they could to keep Obama safe...........
