At the moment, the news chatter says that authorities are identifying the man they've taken into custody in connection with the murder of Dr. George Tiller as an "isolated individual." Maybe not. The ADL has a web archive of something called The Militia Archive, a research database compiled from 1995-2000. There's an item from 1997 that might be, as the police say of Scott Roeder at this point, "of interest."
From 1997:
July 7, Kansas: Scott Roeder is sentenced to sixteen months in state prison for parole violations following a 1996 conviction for having bomb components in his car trunk.

Our New Approach to Comments
In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers –
a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
