The Freemen

NPR's Howard Berkes talks with Montanans who know the Freemen holed up on their remote ranch, and with one of the numerous members of out-of-state militias who have flocked to the area to negotiate with the group. And he talks with a Montana Freeman associated with the barricaded group, who tries to explain what it is the anti-government organization stands for.
