Last month a rather sophisticated bomb was found in Spokane along the planned parade route for a march on Martin Luther King day. The bomb did not detonate, and no one took credit for placing it. Since Spokane is not all that far from Hayden Lake, which is a hotbed of white supremacist activity, police naturally looked at a possible connection.
One of the people interviewed about the bomb was a Pennsylvania native named Shaun Winkler, who lives near Hayden Lake and is a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Mr. Winkler, questioned by the FBI, was quoted in the New York Times as saying, "We don't have that kind of intelligence level to make that kind of explosive."
I, for one, am willing to take him at his word.
