These guys were close, real close to killing them some Americans.

WOT will never cease and will be the democRats down fall.

[TexasCajun]

Drudge's link refers to these guys as ethnic Albanians.

[tgambill]

It’s not beyond reason that this was a set up to give more fuel for banning assault weapons. The insider government is up to no good.....

It’s very odd that they were dumb enough to circulate the DVD for one issue.

[neodad]

I’ve been following this all day and don’t understand why the MSM continues to refer to this as “homegrown” terrorism.

[oneolcop]

I hear that these fellows were members of the infamously violent Irish Leprachaun Society (ILS) posing a peaceful muslims. /s

[wastedyears]

ABC 7 in Stamford, CT actually dedicated time to this. They also mentioned the Jihadis wanted to target the Army - Navy game in December.

Lines have been drawn. When will something be done?

These guys were close, real close to killing them some Americans.

I happen to disagree. I believe that they were "close, real close to" trying to "kill[] them some Americans."

I've read many places today the army bases such as Ft. Dix are "soft targets." Somehow I just don't buy it, and portions of this article seem to indicate that there are significant (and I'd wager lethal) security measures in place, some obvious and some not so obvious.

I am seeing some FReepers saying these guys were losers and could not have succeeded. They are wrong. One guy delivered pizzas to Ft. Dix all day long. You don’t think he could have gotten 2-3 guys and weaponry in? Piece of cake. They would have let it right in.

It’s not murder. It’s terrorism. A murder plot is somebody offing his boss because he hates him or his wife for insurance money. Murder can even be an armed psycho going nuts. But terrorism is an ideologically motivated attack on non-combatants to impose your ideology on them.

This was terrorism. Let’s start calling this what it is.

A Justice Department spokesman in Washington noted that none of the suspects is charged with terrorism crimes.

So what were they charged with, shoplifting?

"We have no indication that they were receiving direction from a foreign terrorist organization," said Justice Department spokesman Dean Boyd. "However, they were engaged in weapons training, surveilled targets and discussed killing large numbers of servicemen, and so that certainly warranted a strong law enforcement response."

It doesn't get any more "Through the Looking Glass" than this.

[El Gran Salseron]

"A Justice Department spokesman in Washington noted that none of the suspects is charged with terrorism crimes."

You just gotta be kidding me.

[Osage Orange]

I've said this before...and I will say it again.

It wouldn't take 3 or 4 well trained teams of snipers...to put this country in panic mode.

Two morons did just that, in Virgina......

I hate to say it...but I think it will happen sooner or later.

[VRWCmember]

"However, they were engaged in weapons training, surveilled targets and discussed killing large numbers of servicemen, and so that certainly warranted a strong law enforcement response."

And the idiots at Homeland Security look at this as a law enforcement issue rather than an act of undeclared war by enemy combatants. Under the Geneva Convention, these A-holes should be unceremoniously shot and then unceremoniously cremated and their ashes tossed in a pig trough.

[Republicus2001]

They’re back!

[kcar]

Attacking Ft Dix? Sounds like these guys should be able to cop an insanity plea. But I sure hope nobody tells the jihadists what a soft target Fort Knox is...

[353FMG]

“A Justice Department spokesman in Washington noted that none of the suspects is charged with terrorism crimes.”

What is a terrorist crime? Is that the same as a hate crime?

All six men are expected to be arraigned in federal court in Camden today . .

Camden. Where have I heard that name before?

[wideminded]

"The DVD depicted 10 young men who appeared to be in their early-20s shooting assault weapons at a firing range in a militia-like style while calling for jihad and shouting in Arabic, 'Allah Akbar,'

I guess this is not illegal but I wonder what happened to the other four guys.

[Pistolshot]

"Those passing through checkpoints onto Fort Dix will notice more frequent vehicle searches and strict adherence to a 100-percent ID check, which may slow traffic."

This should be SOP for EVERY military establishment.
