Guilty plea in case of attempted murder of Muslim Americans with remote controlled x-ray machine. I'm sorry, what?

The Columbia County man pleaded guilty Wednesday to domestic terrorism-related charges for agreeing to help build an X-ray weapon in a bizarre scheme with a reputed Ku Klux Klansman to kill Muslims. 

Feight, 55, of Stockport, admitted to providing material support to terrorists before Chief Judge Gary Sharpe in U.S. District Court. 

In doing so, Feight admitted agreeing to take part in a plan allegedly concocted by the co-defendant, Glendon Scott Crawford, 49, to kill people whom Crawford deemed "undesirable," according to Feight's plea deal. 

Feight faces up to 15 years in prison and waived an appeal on any sentence that length or shorter. But he could spend considerably less time behind bars under federal sentencing guidelines if he cooperates with prosecutors. 

Crawford, of Providence in Saratoga County, pleaded not guilty Wednesday before Magistrate Judge Christian Hummel at an arraignment on a three-count indictment handed up last week. It accuses the alleged KKK member of attempting to produce and use a radiological device, conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction and distribution of information relating to weapons. 

"Crawford planned to create a mobile, remotely operated, radiation-emitting device capable of killing people silently from a distance with lethal doses of ionizing radiation," the plea deal stated. "Crawford's intended targets were Muslims, Muslim-related organizations and persons Crawford believed were contributing to the demise of the United States."

Apparently the criminal masterminds were tripped up when they went to two undercover FBI agents posing as KKK friendly business men for help. 

Boy you simply can't trust that FBI at all can you?

Eric Feight has been identified as either a Tea Party member or a Klu Klux Klan member, as if there is a difference. Either way he is undoubtedly a credit to his organization.
