More Than 1 Plot Was Foiled

Today's dispatch from the Potemkin Administration. Put away your duct tape and your Toby Keith CD. The so-called "Miami 7" that US Authorities nabbed this week for plotting to attack the Sears Tower in Chicago, as the Herald Sun reports today, were more "ridiculous" than menacing. I am very intrigued that these 7 dimwits were thwarted on tips from a government informant (who appears to lack all of the skills of an investigator), yet when actual FBI agents raised red flags within the FBI regarding the Arabic flight school students in 2001, nothing was done. And there he was, the king of torture himself, Alberto Gonzalez, basking in the spotlight over this bogus 'collar' they nabbed. Ah, how 'quaint'.

The Herald Sun goes on to say that "as more details emerge of a supposed terror plot interrupted by US authorities, the plotters and their half-baked plan seem less than deadly and more than a little ridiculous." Most of the men were unemployed, but all were poor. Aside to not having any money, they had no weapons, explosives, no footwear, and not even running water or electricity. A government informant posed as a representative of al quaida. He provided them with boots, $3,500 and a camera, but nothing else.

Eventhough, the relatives of the men claim they are harmless and 'not even Muslims' and the local Muslim chapter said they're not Muslim, the Torture Czar, the US Attorney General, indicted them. They now face up to 70 years in prison. The Herald Sun continues to report another disturbing fact, that it is "unclear whether the Sears Tower attack was suggested by the suspects or the undercover agent." "It was more aspirational than operational," said John Pistole, the FBI's deputy director.

The Sun Sentinel also reported today that these seven men "accused of domestic terrorism were long on ambition, according to prosecutors, but they were far short on substance, according to neighbors and relatives." The government may have problems prosecuting the case as it "weighs heavily on an informant's involvement" according to the President of the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. The key point being: "if the authorities created the crime, that's classic entrapment." Nice try, Alberto.

So, why do poor, unemployed, undereducated men want to attack America and a symbol of it's wealth and progress? I just gave you the answer.
