Not just those Islamic wackos...

The Nevada State Police accidentally stumbled across one of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted today in a traditional bad-license-plate traffic stop.
A murderer? A bank robber? A terrorist? Nope, a Mormon child molester.
To be fair, he runs an 'offshoot' of the Church of Latter Day Saints called the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, headquartered in that quaint little alternate reality nexus that lies along the Arizona-Utah state line, with some 10,000 followers. The big Mormon boys in Salt Lake City, while probably wishing they could have seventy wives like him, technically disown him and his ilk.
How much like the Taliban is this guy?
This, from the New York Times: "The community, closed to outsiders, is one in which civil government and religious authority are one and the same..."

I watched a news report tonight where a correspondent from a major network was threatened with arrest by an erstwhile county sheriff for 'loitering' outside the town's only United States Post Office, merely for trying to ask the close-mouthed townspeople what they thought of the arrest of their Dear Leader. (It looked like the postmaster was in on the deal, too.)
If not carpet bombing, a couple of Special Forces A-teams and some artillery ought to do the trick. It worked on the Taliban; think of it as a trial run for the next war in Afghanistan...
