Buford Rogers, 25, is scheduled to be sentenced today in U.S. District Court after pleading guilty to one count of possessing a firearm illegally and one count of possessing an unregistered destructive device. The FBI once characterized the member of a small Minnesota militia as part of a terror plot to blow up a police station.

According to the Associated Press, authorities say Rogers and some family members belonged to a small anti-government militia called the Black Snake Militia. They say Rogers was plotting to blow up the Montevideo police station, raid a National Guard Armory and cut off communications to the city, which is about 95 miles west of Minneapolis.

... with "one count of possessing a firearm illegally and one count of possessing an unregistered destructive device"? Did they not have enough evidence for terrorism charges?
