	The question I see is: "Had he broken any laws when the threat
on his life was made?"  I haven't heard this point discussed explicitly
but the sense I get from what I have been able to find out is that he
hadn't.

	So here we are being treated to the spectacle of an agent of the
United States Government saying: "If you break the law, we'll put you in
prison.  On the other hand, if you don't break it, we'll kill you."

	Kind of makes you proud to be an American, doesn't it.
