(CBS) NEW YORK In the latest terrorist threat to New York City, the alleged terrorists are all middle-aged men. The oldest is a 63-year-old Guyanese immigrant Russell Defreitas who was arrested at a diner in Brooklyn. The feds say he was the mastermind of the plot to ignite the jet fuel farm at John F. Kennedy International Airport.

People who know Defreitas however, are astounded at the charge.

“For him to be mastermind of this was utterly ridiculous,” said Ricardo Johnson, a friend of the suspect. “He's not a leader. He doesn't have the capacity.”

Johnson may only be partially wrong. Federal officials are calling the alleged terrorist plot very poorly thought out.

Authorities confirm they didn't have money or explosives, but thought it best to bring the plotters in sooner rather than later.

1. Was Popeye Doyle in on this? Did this perp pick his feet in Poughkeepsie?

3. Kos is good on the basics of this case...

1. The attackers had no ties to Iraq. Nor the Middle East. Nor Al Qaida.

2. It was homegrown terrorism. (Of course, the perpetrators were brown, so this merits a lot more hand-wringing than white domestic terrorists, especially the ones bombing abortion clinics.)

3. No illegal wiretaps or torture were necessary to crack the case.

4. It was thwarted by good ol' police work -- an informant inside the cell, working with a joint FBI/NYPD task force.

5. Whatever happened to "fighting them over there, so we don't have to fight them over here"?

6. War in Iraq and elsewhere isn't ending terrorism. In fact, it's fueling it.
