So the news came out today that the FBI got a warning a month prior that Scott Roeder was a danger to Dr. George Tiller. The FBI disregarded the letter as not credible, for a number of reasons, including the fact that the guy who wrote it had no specifics. But it's also likely that the FBI was annoyed because the letter came from a personal enemy of Roeder's, a Mark Archer. Archer's wife had a baby by Roeder after she married Archer, and Roeder had managed to secure visitation rights. For somewhat understandable reasons, Archer didn't want Roeder visiting the little girl---the story implies that Archer is raising the little girl as his own, and the Archers want to get Roeder out of their life completely. Of course, the strategy of trying to run someone out of your life by getting him on a "no fly" list is unethical, but it seems that Archer was also freaked out by Roeder, who bragged to Archer's wife that he wanted to blow up abortion clinics.
