Nah.  Wait until they sue for discrimination.  Then it will resemble the slow breakdown of American freedom by stealth jihad.
If you happen to not have heard by now, yesterday we got to give the FBI a big slap on the back for busting some wanna-be “man made disasters”.  Yes, paradise is truly lost this time my friends, and it looks like these federal cowboys got to herd your butts right into the slaughterhouse.  Hey, wasn’t that an 80s band?  Nevermind.
Just when it seems safe to breathe a sigh of relief and maybe tone down the rhetoric around Obama’s weakening of our national security, we start to read the details around how James Cromitie and crew were caught to begin with:
Step one:  Find an angry up-and-coming jihadist who has some friends with similar interests. [Enter Cromitie]
Step two:  Find a believable pretend jihadist to talk to said angry jihadist. [Enter informant]
Step three:  Provide said angry jihadist with lots of fake weaponry to use for planned jihadist plot through pretend jihadist (in Stamford, Connecticut no less).
Step four: Assume the position.
Step five: STING! Arrest those men!
So, wait - the whole thing was a set up?  You mean, it wasn’t like they found a growing terror cell thriving underground and collected tons of outstanding evidence against the operation for use in a criminal court by following FISA rules to the utmost extent possible?  Man, this movie sucks.
Not that the FBI’s work here deserves to be belittled in any way, but it’s just a shame that the only events that can be sensationalized in headlines like this story was are the ones that...well...can be disclosed to the public.  It’s like the left can point to this story and say, “Hey, look everyone! We got it under control.  It really is just a law enforcement issue after all!”  Kind of like how you can claim you were never told about waterboarding because you know that nobody took notes that day.  Prove me wrong I say!  Right.
If only the rest of the “man made disasters” could be as stupid as these outstanding citizens.  Then maybe we could free up some of the budget by eliminating the Department of Homeland Security altogether, yes?  Oh wait, Janet Napolitano already neutered it.  Just one more useless governmental department gobbling up tax money.
::sigh::
