Wildfire Suspect Charged With Arson, Murder (tags)
I smell a patsy. What is undeniable to anyone with a hint of intelligence, integrity, and an awareness of the pattern of arsons in our national forests, a pattern that asserted itself with authority in the wake of the salvage rider (allowing timber companies to benefit hugely from burnt, sometimes healthy trees), is that there is a coordinated, albeit perhaps loosely, effort to maintain a salvage logging profit for these companies. What you can pretty much count on is that the investigation of Raymond Oyler will not lead to any such thing, which is why I call him a patsy.

The two were abducted from their Karachi home last August, and released this April without being charged.

Instead, the two said, the agents threatened to send them to Guantanamo if they did not “confess” to terrorist involvement.
