DETROIT -- Jury selection is underway in the trial of seven people accused of being part of a Lenawee County militia who wanted to overthrow the government.

The accused members of the group called Hutaree are charged with conspiring to kill a police officer, then attacking the officer's funeral to wage a war on the government.  No one was ever attacked.

The defendants' attorneys say their clients are being prosecuted for saying stupid things.

A federal judge in Detroit is asking potential jurors what they think about confidential informants.  The trial is expected to last weeks.
