WASHINGTON (AP) � A tobacco farmer dubbed 'Tractor Man' was sentenced Wednesday to six years in prison in connection with a March 2003 incident that brought traffic in the nation's capital to a standstill.

It's not that we don't feel compassion for farmers and the difficult life that farming entails... it's just that terrorist threats, regardless of the moral convictions upon which they are based, are still terrorist threats and have to dealt with harshly. To threaten our nation's capital, I think he got off lucky with just six years.
