THE MIAMI PLOT
NY Post ^ | 6/24/06 | NY Post Editorial board

Posted on 06/24/2006 2:07:00 AM PDT by Oshkalaboomboom

No one died and the plot never got off the ground, thank goodness, but America yesterday got another chilling reminder of the threat from the homegrown enemies next door.

Federal agents busted a group of al Qaeda wannabes with dreams of destroying the Sears Tower in Chicago and several federal buildings in Miami.

Much of law enforcement's success surely is due to the kinds of warrantless-surveillance programs loudly decried by Democrats and the civil-liberties crowd - including the financial-transactions monitoring that was disclosed Thursday.

But this latest plot offers a troubling glimpse of a homegrown fifth-column group on U.S. soil - whose members have no record of ties to terrorism but who suddenly are seized with a fierce desire to wage jihad against America.

The so-called Seas of David, a Black Muslim offshoot, seems at first glance like a cult of kooks with visions of bloody jihad. But then, many might have said the same about al Qaeda before 9/11.

It's also true that the group posed no real danger beyond a lot of talk. But that's only because its plot unraveled early, thanks to an informer. Members had contacted someone they believed (wrongly) was linked to Osama bin Laden. They'd asked for $50,000 in cash, terrorist training, weapons, vehicles and other supplies - after pledging an oath to al Qaeda and a promise to "kill all the devils we can."

As U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta noted: "They certainly had the will. They were searching for a way."

Thank goodness the administration keeps ignoring the leftists and the MSM so it can find these people before they do any damage.

I have been covering, ( Or, as Seamole calls it...-backhoe's pseudoblog--...-more- ) pseudoblogging, this issue for years, and I believe that we are in the opening stages of World War Four, and that the barbarians are already inside the gates. Let those who have eyes, see...

Sounds like this was written by the NAACP, or Jesse Jackson, or Mayor Nagin, or the black Caucus, or the black Muslims, etc.

Back when it was still worth watching, two decades ago, or so.

It is good that many of us inside the gates are not exactly going to lay down and let them roll on over us. Keep your powder dry.

Incredible the way the MSM kept saying this was the gang that couldn't shoot straight, that they were bumblers, wannabee's. (Hardly worth bothering about. Plus they were entrapped, they weren't serious. The admin. couldn't take any credit for what amounted to persecuting a bunch of innocent 'teenagers'. Only Bill O'Reilly mentioned their rap sheets.)It only took a handful of box-cutters on 9/11. And the fact that they danced around the fact that they were Muslims!!! They added, 'extremist', as if Florida shouldn't bother watching dozens of mosques in that state. (Not a peep out of any of the local Muslims, either....that this was heinous, etc..) Clearly the media was disappointed that the cops and feds had the plotters on tape...proof that would stand up in court.

>>(Not a peep out of any of the local Muslims, either....that this was heinous, etc..)

CAIR's press release basically paraphrases down to "Don't call these guys Muslims! They are a non-Muslim cult! Don't you *DARE* call these guys Muslims, and give Muslims a bad name. Oh, and you better increase police protection of mosques and such, and protect us from all those crackers."

Yep, the MSM has been falling all over themselves downplaying this incident - a typical despicable display. At least one New York newspaper gets it and is on America's side.

I watched ABC's Good Morning America yesterday, and it was absolutely hilarious when they tried to report the 'news' about this without reporting the truth.

It was a fantastic exercise in verbal gymnastics, a verbal game of "Twister", as they tried to say that they were a group of 'Black Muslims', without saying that they were either 'Black' or 'Muslim'.

ROTFLMAO.

So much for our media reporting the 'truth', in the News.

The Sears Tower is always coming up as a target. I don't think I would renew my lease if I were a tenant.

Maybe the charges are true, maybe it's another 'Branch Davidian' case. The government has dropped the ball often enough that Freepers ought to know better than to salivate at the bell.

Let's wait and see what evidence their trials provide before we go ballistic.
