Updated II: I have a problem with..the Fort Dix “terror plot”

 UPDATE II: ahhhh well I keep reading and I keep getting vindicated.  I hate it when I’m right, I really do….If you remember reading this post, I asked how smart could these idiots have been if they couldn’t even figure out how to convert a video to a dvd. Well they are so tactical it seems that they went to a local Circuit City to find out how. Geeeeee, sounds like some real “masterminds” at work doesn’t it?

The FBI learned of the alleged plot when the men went to a Circuit City store and asked a clerk to transfer a jihad training video of themselves onto a DVD. Also, they mistakenly thought an AK-47 costs $500, instead of $1,500 to $3,000.

Also, one of the men, Tatar, called a Philadelphia police officer in November, saying that he had been approached by someone who was pressuring him to obtain a map of Fort Dix, and that he feared the incident was terrorist-related, according to court documents.

uh-huh, terrorists that call the police. Hmmm masterminds indeed.

UPDATE: Well, well, well. the more that comes out about this alleged Terror Plot in Fort Dix the more we shall see how much of a terror plot this was and how much was the FBI pushing along a few morons.

The informer, sent to penetrate a loose group of men who liked to talk about jihad and fire guns in the woods, had come to be seen by the suspects as the person who might actually show them how an act of terror could be carried off

As the case goes forward, the role of the main informer will almost surely be contested. Over the years, informers in terror cases have become the focus of efforts by defense lawyers and others to call into question the legitimacy of the investigations. They have often sought to show that informers engaged in entrapment.

it might have been the informer who helped jump-start another suspect, Serdar Tatar, who still had not followed through on his promise to get a map of the base from his father’s pizzeria near Fort Dix. The two men were discussing Fort Dix, the complaint said, when the informer “expressed anger at the United States.”

something smells fishy to me people. I am on record saying I didn’t like it from the beginning and I don’t like it now.

the NY times know how to close an article that is for sure…

In fact, one of the suspects, Dritan Duka, seemed taken aback by the informer’s listing of the heavy artillery. Mr. Duka appeared to ask the informer if there was anything more he should know about the informer’s background or intentions, including whether he was religious. Asked why he seemed alarmed, Mr. Duka said to the informer, “There was some stuff on the list that was heavy.” And he added an expletive.

In the last recorded conversation cited in the complaint, the men opted only for the machine guns. They would “hold off” on anything more. 

I’m hunting wabbits! 
I have a problem with this new “terrorist cell plot” that we just magically uncovered.  First of all I heard today on Today, that they had been watching these guys for over a year.  Second, they have no links to Al Qaeda.  3rd these guys don’t fit the very brilliant type that can pull something like this off.  Your first indication of how “brilliant” these idiots are is this:

You mean to tell me that these idiots filmed their “Jihad” movies on video cassette then took them to a video store to convert them to a DVD.  If they were so smart why the fuck didn’t they go to Walmart and buy a freaking combo VCR/DVR machine for like $150?  You mean these guys didn’t have a Digital Camcorder?  

My other point of brilliance is this:

How many “terrorists” are deep undercover go shooting at a well known gun range?

 So, does this coincide with President Bush 28% approval rating (Matching Carter’s 1979 low)  but nahhhhh, our government wouldn’t ever do something like this to distract from the truth…would they?
