After all that bitching by their lawyers that they were being held in "isolation" and "sensory deprivation," guess what two of the three accused NATO bombers are practically begging for? If you guessed "isolation from the general population," give yourself a pat on the back:
- A day after their lawyers complained that they were being “kept in isolation” at Cook County Jail, two of the three suspects accused in a bomb plot associated with last weekend’s NATO conference have asked not to be put in the jail’s general population, and to instead be incarcerated in the protective custody unit.
The two suspects who made the request, Brent Betterly and Jared Chase, were arrested with fellow self-proclaimed anarchist Brian Church on Wednesday May 16 after police found what they said was Molotov cocktails and instructions for making pipe bombs in their apartment during a raid.
According to prosecutors the three planned on throwing the Molotov cocktails into a police station. They were charged with conspiracy to commit terrorism, possession of an explosive or incendiary device and providing material support.
Terrorists named "Brent" and "Jared?" We remember when terrorists had really scary names like Sirhan and Yassir and Osama.
