​We've all heard about suicide-bombers wearing woman's burkas in Iraq and Afghanistan, but who knew dressing in drag would catch on with wannabe bombers in the U.S. as well?

Frederick Purvis of Hamilton, Ohio, was sentenced to thirty months in prison yesterday for sending at least ten e-mails to federal agencies and media outlets in which he threatened to blow up various Cincinnati landmarks and kill then-President Bush. He was also apparently fixated on Denver International Airport and sent similar e-mail threats against the airport to Denver television stations.
