"Did the government grab headlines by snatching [terrorist] wannabees?"
Anderson Cooper's promo for his show this evening. "Could seven guys in Miami really have been plotting against America, or did the government grab headlines by snatching wannabees?"

Oh, man, I know I'm being optimistic...but maybe this is another sign of the opening flood gates.

1. Go ahead be optimistic, it's your turn!
and you may be on to something here. Seems like ever since this story came out the talking heads ( except for fox) has been shaking their heads, they haven't been able to get much energy behind this story.

Perhaps it's because it's not a story, just something the WH (Rove) and the FBI cooked up to scare a few simple minded people.

Anyway i'm glad to see that some in the MSM are taking another look at this and reporting the truth, the only problem is the Miami seven will be locked up for allot of years because the FBI want say oops!

2. It appeared the same day as Banking BS appeared and yes, it did
steal the headlines.

3. It's like the rusty pipes in the desert
in Iraq we found just a couple of months after the invasion.

About that time everybody was starting to ask, ' so just where are these WMD's anyway?'

So, they dug up a few dozen rusty societ era rockets that once may or may not have held a WMD of some sort and tried to pass them off as the great find we were waiting for. The photos were all over the media for about 10 seconds.

Anybody else remember this?

4. It's apparent to most (all?) of us here ...
... that the government arrested a bunch of chuckleheads ... but , it certainly would be nice to have the corporate media acknowledging it.
