After the Sami al-Arian business, I have zero confidence in the FBI’s judgment about who is or is not a supporter of terrorists.
so what about other “incompetent morons”-- like those who download kiddie porn? They’re so dumb that they aren’t a real threat, right?
So we don’t don’t want the police to keep an eye on them, do we?
Link back to that Pit thread for me. I left it thinking you never agreed to my terms.
well, I would put a slightly different slant on it which is that the guys we need to w0rry aboutan are the ones who at least have enough tradecraft to use kinkos for their really really high priority jihadi downloads…c I would have left these guys alone for a while and stayed on them like white on rice (this has not been the strong suit of our fatherland defenders, who lost started tailing (atta?) and then lost him.
What worries me is that these are some of the most competent would be terrorists that have been captured in the last four years. It may be that Osama bin Laden used everyone available the first time, but you have to assume he didn’t. I think we’re so busy defending against the last attack that we’ll miss the next one until it happens.
no shit–compared to the blowtorch man, or the paintball guys, apart from really poor internet hygeine, this may be the cream of the crop
