OCEANSIDE, Calif. — While her Marine husband was in prison at Fort Leavenworth for killing an unarmed Iraqi, Reyna Hutchins got a call from the FBI: her name was on a "hit list" of a suspected American terrorist, an Al Qaeda sympathizer.

"As much as they tried to reassure me that I was safe, I was still scared," she said.

She worried each time she started her car that a bomb might be attached. She kept her curtains closed, fearing that she would become a target of a sniper. When she ventured out, she was constantly looking over her shoulder.

"I wasn't comfortable being in the house, unable to protect our daughter," she said. She sent their daughter to live with her grandparents.
