Why is this man not holidaying at the Guantánamo Bay Beach and Leisure Resort?

A man who has confessed to plotting to plant a bomb at a public facility that would have seriously injured and probably killed many innocent people has been allowed to plead guilty to "attempted use of a destructive device". Charges of "use of weapons of mass destruction and the manufacture of explosive material" have been dropped. Why, you ask, is this man getting off so lightly? Well perhaps it is because Paul Ross Evans, who has two previous felony convictions (whatever happened to "three strikes and you're out"?), is white, Christian and was only planning on blowing up abortionists, so that's alright then. Do you suppose he would have received the same treatment if his name was Mohamed al-Tikriti and he was planning on blowing up a Republican rally?

A Google new search for various combinations of Paul-Ross-Evans-terror-terrorist-evildoer yielded exactly zero valid results!
