Jim Smith of the Philadelphia Daily News reports: Federal prosecutors of Clayton Lee Waagner are demanding a life sentence for the "war of terror" waged by the anti-abortion extremist in October and November of 2001. Waagner, founder of the Army of God (Warning: extremely graphic site), was convicted last December for sending anthrax-hoax letters stuffed with threats and white powder to dozens of abortion clinics in the eastern United States. Speaking to the jury that convicted him, Waagner said, "'I am the anti-abortion extremist, a terrorist to the abortion industry...I love what happened here. It tickles me that this action was effective enough that two years later, these people are still scared.'" He is scheduled to be sentenced June 25.
