Tucson killer researched many ways to kill Congresswoman

So are they going to call for banning the internet?

A man accused in the deadly Tucson shooting rampage that killed six people and wounded 13 others including Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords researched lethal injections, solitary confinement and political assassinations in the days before the attack, a newspaper reported Wednesday.
A source close to the investigation into 22-year-old Jared Loughner told The Washington Post that a review of his computers turned up the Internet searches. Officials with the FBI and Justice Department contacted by The Associated Press declined to comment Wednesday on the Post's story or verify any part of it
Loughner's alleged actions could help prosecutors as they begin the process of pursuing charges that could lead to the federal death penalty.
He was indicted last week on federal charges of trying to assassinate Giffords and trying to kill two of her aides -- Ron Barber and Pam Simon -- in the Jan. 8 shootings outside a Tucson supermarket during a meet-and-greet event with the three-term Democratic congresswoman's constituents. . . .
