I hope this story is just the FBI being overzealous with our safety. But I am cynical about anything that the Bush administarion touches, I wonder what shade of “Islamo-Clown-Orange” this threat would be. If the FBI source was an infiltator who observed the cult and not a “paid ?” informant you posed as AQ, I would believe that this was a serious group. Sounded more like a group who could even buy good boots. Maybe the Black Hebrew Mossad was involved (sorry tin foil snark!!) in the infiltration.

Could it be that there are an uncountable unknown number of U S Citizens, including U S Black’s that joined the Islamic faith are just plain fed up with the crap going on in our nation, and stricking out, striking back, no matter how stupid or illogical it is against U S corporations and government.

Instant condemnation and retaliation, in every imaginable form, seems to be the name of the game anymore and the first things that comes to mind in many people and such in this issue is just a step or two higher on the stupid/illogical scale from “road rage.”

Do I get pissed when someone going 80 miles an hour cuts me off on the freeway? You bet I do…just like most people do….but only for a moment.

I know myself and know I have a temper that turned violent more than once in my life. So I don’t try to retaliate against that other driver because over the years I’ve managed to adjusted myself with reason and thinking…and some bit of assumption that keeps me sane.

I assume the person that just cut me off, as illogical and stupid it may seem to me, could be a person acting in panic because he/she was just notified and is on the way to a hospital because another road raged person shot his/her family member and is near death.

In this same manner I will keep my opinions in reservation and not suppose or prejudge a thing about these “Black Muslims” and let law, law enforcement, and the judicial system run its course.

My two cents worth would mean zip at any rate.

Soon as I heard this story come out I had a funny feeling. Karl’s off the hook with the grand jury, and BAM! we got our first terror threat of the year. Smells like the lobster tank, at the local grocery store to me.

Smells as bad as the Detroit terror cell prosecution. I wonder how much the informant was payed or if he acted as in informat to avoid charges against himself. The media came out screaming “Black Muslim”, I have yet to hear what NOI or mosque these associated with these wackos. The prosecutor in Detroit is in trouble for his actions, I am waitng to hear more detail on the informant.

Holy crap..they busted a clown show. The asked the informant to provide them with guns, vehicals, explosives, and uniforms?

Did the AQ spring line come out? Why was I not told?

And is there bling acessories with those cammies?

As the guy on CNN said: “This is a prime opportunity to build a defense base on entrapment”. Oh what a way to divide the nation on racial lines to add to the completely polarized political division we now injoy. I can hear faux news and talk radio even now.

yeah, this whole Sears Tower threat doesn’t seem to really be sticking. Not at this point.

When i say the mugshots of the guys who got busted and realized they are black i thought, “Oh lordy, here we go again. nothing fires up the GOP like gays and blacks.”

I think it is fairly obvious, now, when you add this incident (or non-incident) to the Oklahoma City bombing, that the two most dangerous groups are white Americans and black Americans.

I say we round ‘em all up and put ‘em in camps. Let the Asian-Americans, Native Americans, and Hispanics run the country for awhile.

They couldn’t do any worse.

I agree that the extent to which this to me fairly minor operation has been ballyhooed is interesting. However, Joe, there’s an explanation for that other than political machinations by the Bush Administration. The FBI itself may be overhyping the story for much the same reasons as your local police department touting speeding tickets issued as the murder rate rises.

Hey baby, once you get busted lying, there goes your credibility.

A passion for declaring everything…and I do mean everything secret doesn’t help.

Occams razor baby, occams razor.

As a bunch of wingnuts once said (but didn’t really believe), charactor matters.
