I can just ship you to Leavenworth as a domestic terrorist. I don't have time to play your silly games. The ball's in your court, so what are you goin... to do?"He sat and glared at me for a few minutes. Then he asked a question aimed at me."Who the hell are you, mister? I can see you are not in the service because of your obvious age." I am a Special Investigator for Homeland Security. I decide what happens to you and how you're charged. If you don't already know, I can charge you with domestic.
