Scott Roeder called The Associated Press from the Sedgwick County jail, where he's being held on charges of first-degree murder and aggravated assault in the shooting of Dr. George Tiller one week ago.
"I know there are many other similar events planned around the country as long as abortion remains legal," Roeder said. He would not elaborate.
It almost looks like Roeder has knowledge of other planned attacks of violence. If right-wingers are in favor of the Dick-Bush-doctrine and torture programs to protect American citizens against external terrorist threats then they should be in favor of using them - as a matter of principle - to disrupting acts of domestic terrorism too, right? It's a post-Tiller world, and we cannot afford to treat this like a policing problem. So, if there is a one-percent chance that Roeder has a knowledge of plans of domestic terrorist attack then he should be tortured, if need be, in order to save American lives.

"Brown people with no intelligence to back up their arrest get bruised, battered, beaten, tied up, tied down, strung up, strung out, bent over, confined, spit on, violated, needled, force fed, and deprived of sleep. Many don’t ever say a thing useful in America’s supposed fight against extremism and violence in the world.
White people like Roeder who have a clear history of extremism that can be connected to terrorists like Eric Rudolph and Terry McVeigh get to run their mouth to the press but suffer no consequences. The media is allowed to spread what they say and increase the terror those in need of abortions and those who administer abortions experience each day."
I'll add that I figure the police in Wichita would not want to use these techniques to get Roeder to talk about who will be committing more acts of violence.
Most likely, members of the Wichita Police are sympathetic to Roeder's actions. Maybe a few are members of the local Operation Rescue like Scott Roeder was or still is.
