Albritton letter: Refuge takeover

At a time when the whole country worries about getting hit by Middle Eastern fanatics and their cohorts, our own homegrown terrorists are occupying a Federal Refuge in Oregon. They are armed and making it clear they are ready to die for their cause and are hiding behind their children. The only difference is they are white and claiming to be Christian or they would have already been smoked out. If you have any doubts look up the definition of terrorism in the U.S. Code. They are a black eye to decent ranchers all over while they are just driven by greed. The Sheriff and the good people of Harney County have made it abundantly clear they want them to leave so they can go on with their life. Even their friends — convicted of arson — have distanced themselves from this group. So how long will this charade go on?
