If it's held in secret how can anyone be sure it's anything that remotely resembles a fair trail? Maybe the defendants don't even know what that are being charged with. Maybe they are not allowed lawyers.

Secret trails are not the worst of this though. Since about 2005 the home secretary has the power to put anyone under house arrest indefinitely without any burden of proof. The UK government don't even need trails anymore.

So apparently if you're a standard frustrated angry geeky guy you need to have a manifesto?

Damn. Guess I missed that memo.

All the rest of us got it. Most of us chose more mundane messages than 'kill all women'. Mine is 'I don't like MS Windows very much'.

We didn't have this conversation about environmentalism after the unibomber and we don't need it about some fringe internet trolls now.

I believe the unibomber was against technology because it dehumanizes people, not because of environmental issues. Many believe his arguments were valid although his method of protest was ineffective and harmful. This has nothing to do with a frustrated kid going crazy, blaming all women for his social isolation, and trying to kill them all.

Why didn't they put some kind of cover over the exhaust port? They could build a spaceship the size of a moon but they couldn't build something to stop missiles flying up the dam exhaust pipe.
