David Stone, who planned to shoot a policeman, bomb his funeral, then retreat to the countryside to fight the U.S. Army, has been charged in a federal district court, and no one seems to find that problematic.
Faisal Shahzad, who tried to blow up a car bomb in Times Square, has been charged in federal district court, and a whole lot of people seem to find that problematic.
Shahzad, but not the Hutaree, it seems, should be tried by the military, despite both being U.S. citizens who attempted their acts on U.S. soil.
And what, exactly is the difference between the two men?
