Crazed Truther Tries to Shoot Up Pentagon

I'm glad they didn't tie this nutcase in with the Tea Party. He seems like the kind of insane Truther that liked to bother Bill Maher back in the day.

Bedell pulled a handgun at a Pentagon entrance, shot two police officers and was mortally wounded in an exchange of gunfire, authorities said. The two officers were hospitalized briefly with minor injuries.

A blog connected to Bedell via the social networking site LinkedIn outlines his growing distrust of the federal government. It gives credence to the idea that a criminal enterprise run out of the government could have staged the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

The thing I didn't like was that CNN aired excerpts from this crazy persons manifesto this morning. Um, the last thing we want to do is publicize the words and musing of some crazy shooter. The last thing we want to do is make these people into pseudo-celebrities.
