Have you heard of Robert Ferro? See http://lefti.blogspot.com/2007/06/terrorist-pleads-guilty-press-yawns.html This is a man who was caught with the largest cache of weapons ever seized in the United States - more than 1500 weapons, including 35 machine guns, 130 silencers, two short-barreled rifles, a live hand grenade, a rocket launcher tube and about 89,000 rounds of ammunition, all intended (according to Ferro) for use in overthrowing the Cuban government. As far as I've been able to determine, his name has never appeared anywhere outside two local Southern California papers, the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin and the Press-Enterprise. Not even the Los Angeles Times has covered this story, much less the NY Times or CNN etc. Don't forget a whole other class of terrorists who never make the news – anti-Cuban terrorists.
