1. Seems to be a religious nut that wanted to kill people

Was there a specific part you did not understand?

2. Prob yet another FBI entrapment/provocation

FBI: hey, you wanna blow something up?
Suspect: I guess so
FBI: come on, we'll get you all kinds of weapons... Plus, they're evil and they deserve it
Suspect: ok, sure

FBI: you're under arrest for plotting to overthrow the government.
Suspect: huh, what?

3. the closer we get to the possibility of 'defense cuts' the more terror incidents we'll see

call me cynical

5. True....

4. the potential terrorist seems to have a lot of hurdles in these plots thankfully

these stings are proving effective in catching these guys before they have a chance to carry any plan out.


Its nice to think that these guys don't know who to trust and will get more paranoid when these kinds of news stories keep coming.
