Closure on a Right-Wing Terrorist Plot

This story barely registered in the news, and somehow I don't imagine the news media was all over the conclusion:

A 37-year-old white supremacist, Kevin William Harpham, was sentenced Tuesday to 32 years in prison for placing a bomb-laden backpack along the route of a Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade in Spokane, Washington, in January, the U.S. Justice Department said.

Harpham, an unemployed electrician from Colville, Washington, pleaded guilty in September to charges of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to commit a federal hate crime.

Why hasn't it been covered like it should have been? Probably because they had trouble digging up a left-wing terrorist -- you know, for balance.
