Prosecutors said Boyd obtained maps of Virginia's Marine Corps Base Quantico to an attack.
In an interview with WCBS-AM Thursday in New York City, Paterson said he doesn't think Attorney General Andrew Cuomo or his

Paterson had said Wednesday he didn't know whether Cuomo was directly involved but that his supporters were.

Visibility Day encourages sexual orientation talk
CAMPUS
Members of Queers and Allies gathered in front of Wescoe Hall for Visibility Day in an effort to promote open discussion, information and awareness of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community.
Queers and Allies, a campus organization that provides counseling, support and information for those dealing with their sexual orientation, sponsored the event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday.
Matt Araiza, Plano, Texas, sopoh more and archivist for Queers and Allies, said Visibility Day didn't really have a definition, but it did have a general message.
"I think it has different meanings for different people, but it all
says the same thing," he said. "We just want to be accepted."
"It's a day that we wanted to have for students to show their pride and be out and proud" she said. "It's a good time of the year for students to meet each other and realize, especially for incoming freshmen or new students, that we have a community here."
Liz Bobbitt, Leawood junior and administrative manager for Queers and Allies, said the day was about acknowledgement.
Araiza said the event addressed the straight community at the University, as well.
Bobbitt said the event was also an opportunity to pass out brochures and let people know of upcoming events. National Coming Out day is next on Queers and Allies' agenda for Oct. 12.
