I hadn't heard about it until you mentioned it the other day. I did find one critique, which says there really isn't much to the story, and Krugman is having a fit over a guy who likes to stockpile stuff because he's paranoid but has nothing planned and then saying the guy is a vicious terrorist when there's no evidence that he is. The militia types don't seem to want to do anything except exercise their constitutional right to form a militia. They clearly break the law, but I've never heard of any of them actually doing anything violent, never mind terrorism.

I thought Timothy McVeigh was a 'militia type'. And he didn't want to just stockpile of course.
I did hear about the story, and it is a bit surprising that it didn't get more coverage. I'd be careful, though, about getting too conspiratorial about it. There is certainly no advantage gotten by downplaying this incident. It would seem more of an advantage to promote it, to show that terrorists are being caught.
