Okay we’ve heard all of the federal law enforcement bureaucrats tell us this morning how we’ve all been saved by their great work with a tawdry group of non-Arab boys living in Liberty City, FL.Our government is in sore need of any and all justification for their wiretapping and questionable privacy invasions of Americans and this beats having nothing to show for their efforts.
Admittedly there was no actual connection to any real know terrorist group. This looks like an informant created plot that snared a bunch of really dumb kids. I’m sure this terror group was led to believe they get lots of money and an exciting Walter Mitty life of adventure.
Could they be dangerous? Anyone can be dangerous. I’m sorry, this has been going on at least since April and not one gun, bomb, or can of gasoline was recovered or alleged to be stored for later use. The question that screams for an answer here is, “Where’s the beef?” I suspect we’re going to learn that the “terrorists” here were hoping to scam some real cash from their “Al-Qaeda” handler-informant.
I’m convinced that a bunch of impoverished and idle young men could be led into this kind of conspiracy that never moves into a real act of violence. Please forgive me while I hold my nose because this case has a foul odor.
She the actual indictment here.
I understand your disbelief, but trust me, these guys were dead serious. If they could have gotten their hands on the explosives, the Sears Tower was going to be hit.
ReplyDeleteFor the rank and file of the Chicago Police Department, preparing for a terrorist attack has consisted of viewing four or five, 10 minute videos. No clue of an evacuation plan or equipment like dust masks, gloves, water. When asked about the lack of training and equipment for the ordinary police officer, a high ranking command official said when, “It is not practical to train individual officers to respond to a terrorist attack."
ReplyDeleteThis is official Chicago Police Department policy. It was echoed by Ron Hubberman on a panel discussion on WTTW-TV.
If there is a terrorist attack, there will be major police casualties, and a congressional investigation. Richie will say he didn't know anything about it. What will Ron Hubberman, and our bosses say.
