Terror Plot to Bomb Sears Tower Busted
As always, Allah has the details.
I question the timing. Why would this happen now, just when: evidence is coming to light that WMD (or perhaps former WMD) have been found in Iraq; Karl Rove is not being indicted; a report has found no evidence of a deliberate cover-up at Haditha; and Zarqawi has been killed?
A Kos commenter puts it all in perspective:
The sad thing . . .
Is I’m sure some poor kid with brown skin, who maybe once mouthed off at his local falafel stand will end up stuck in a brig in guantanamo for the rest of his youth in order to prop this up.
Indeed. Couldn’t have said it better myself. Soldier on, my psychotically paranoid brother!

Hmmm … if they were locking up kids for mouthing off, there wouldn’t too many kids left on the street. And certainly no one commenting on Kos.
I still remember the day when the Soviets shot down Korean Air flight 007 over Sakharin Island. It took one of my co-workers, a young leftie, only a few minutes to suggest that it was probably the CIA’s fault.
It’s a mindset, impervious to facts or reason, set permanantly to “spin.”

Timing is everything, but in skimming your list of events, I think you missed a link absolutely necessary for tying it all together: Connie Chung’s Farewell Act. (Eeeeww!)
