it seems your blinders not only limit your peripheral, but that which is directly in front of you as well.

The secret service has an obligation to inspect every threat made against the president. Every single one, regardless of severity or likeliness. So while I think it's asinine that someone had the gall to suggest that this kid would do something violent to the president, but since someone did (Otherwise they would not have become involved), the Secret Service did have to investigate. They found nothing on the child and let him loose. Normal procedure, nothing that violated any constitutional rights... I just think the kid's teacher/principal were morons for blowing this out of proportion...

Malvo drew the sketches last spring while in jail in Virginia.
He devoted many hours to illustrating his deepest thoughts and rages on page after page of blue-lined paper.
Sometimes, the pages were plucked from his cell by guards carrying out inspections for contraband. Other times, Malvo crumbled them into a ball and tossed them outside his cell.

Another drawing exhorts, "Stand up black men, just stand up together."
Malvo deals most often with the theme of jihad — holy war — announcing that he is ready to "die for the revolution."
