They should jail him for being a hippie if not for linking to sites that show how to make bombs.

What did he do to set himself apart from the zillion other sites that have bomb-making info on them?

"Austin said he took a plea bargain because he feared his case was eligible for a terrorism enhancement, which could have added 20 years to his sentence. The plea deal had called for him to serve four months."

This isn't the first time I've seen a story like this crop up in the media. It's kind of a scary trend.

Austin told the judge Monday he "wasn't really thinking" when he created the Web site. "I'd be devastated if someone used this information to harm others," he said.
