There seems to be no argument going on here, only empty accusations. So i'll leave everyone with this. Take it or leave it. It's entirely up to you:
Cicero’s Mistakes
1. The delusion that personal gain is made by crushing others.
2. The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed or corrected.
3. Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it.
4. Refusing to set aside trivial preferences.
5. Neglecting development and refinement of the mind, and not acquiring the habit of reading and studying.
6. Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.
As far as you can now be concerned "people like me" (which in this case are deaf hermits who build their own laptops from spare parts from dumpsters outside of Dell computer shops) don't exist. There is only the above idea.
Not empty accusations at all, it's rational thinking. We KNOW that the MO for Al Qaida is to scout their targets and go through "dry runs" as was the case before 9/11/2001. We know that Mohommed Atta did this along with his cohorts. We also know that in order to prevent these incidents, we have to be vigilant in recognizing tendencies and acting on them. Yes, there will be a trial and there will be evidence introduced... and there will be a fair hearing. The primary objective is to disrupt and prevent a possible strike. The arrest in and of itself likely accomplishes this. If there was none pending, then these folks will walk. We are weighing "inconvenience" against terror. You and I both know that an arrest would never have been made if there wasn't any further evidence.... and officials are not going to release what they have until the disclosure process. The key to preventing terror is preemption, not reaction.
