Stridently held opinion based on questionable pseudo-science

[Error]

Now that I have your attention, would it mean anything to you if recent events strongly suggested some sort of conspiracy to terrorize the American public?

What if you found out that a recent terrorist plot attributed to Islamists was almost wholly manufactured by law enforcement agencies?

Remember the guys who were going to kill as many as they could at Fort Dix? Well it looks like they were goaded into this supposed plot by ont one, but two hired FBI informants who were obviously financially inspired to manufacture what their customer was looking to purchase.

One of the alleged plotters even hated the west enough to call the police and tip them off to what he feared might be a terrorist plot.

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.

To me, this level of manipulation should be punishable as an offense against the public and I would essentially consider it a criminal conspiracy against every consumer of news. It is a stunt to manipulate us to support Bush policy agenda.

I felt compelled to repost this, since it only got about 4 comments originally. I figured a catchy title might help...

1. Just one more criminal act from the gang........

That's egregious, and nasty, and exactly what one would expect from this bunch.

It will go on until the public boots them out.

2. this is just like the Miami "group"

none of them were charged with anything.
This is just an attempt to stoke the fires of fear of brown people.

Also, the Germany "terror plot" that came out today as "breaking news" is more than a month old and nothing came of it. I heard CNN say that the info was a month old. They also said that the information led them to believe an attack was iminent. Which is it month old or iminent?

3. Things like this don't surprise me

When any of this type thing shows up I just wait a few days for the real story to be told. Bushco is still trying to scare people but I think very few are falling for it.

4. I thought this was significant from your post of last night

But it didn't seem to gather too much attention.

5. Just business as usual for the P2OG group

Keeping you "safe" by proactively preemptively provoking terrorist cells ...

6. I thought that something was up when Jon Stewart mentioned

In all seriousness that the "terrorists" had chosen Fort Dix since one of the guys in the "terror cell" once had delivered pizza there.

7. Why are you using someone else's "catchy title"?
