MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. -- A Circuit City clerk credited with making the tip that brought down an alleged plot to kill soldiers said Tuesday, in his first media interview, that it took a day of pondering before he made the tip.

Speaking on CNN's "American Morning," Brian Morganstern described how two men brought him a videotape to transfer to DVD in late January 2006.

He said he went home that night and told his family what he had seen: Ten men at a firing range with handguns, rifles and what he thought were fully automatic rifles. Authorities later said they were chanting in Arabic, "Allah Akbar," or "God is Great."

He did not know if he should breach the privacy of the customers, who seemed like ordinary guys. He wasn't even paying full attention to the video until he saw things that were troubling.

“Morganstern”

Sounds like a Jewish name to me.

Here hoping he has a lot of guns and a remote starter for his car. Now that the Ragheads know his name, his life could be a lot more interesting...

“Circuit City has said there were actually two employees who made the tip. The other one has not been named publicly, nor have officials detailed what role the other employee played.”

CNN's headline is misleading. Makes him sound like he feels like a heel for betraying the customers' privacy rights.

BUT...

"I don't feel like a hero," he said. "I feel like I did the right thing. I feel like I did the right thing, but I think the real heroes are the men and women overseas and the people in our law enforcement who handled the situation."

No moral dilema in his mind.

And for those who claim this is a violation of privacy. What do they say to all of the stores developing film that report child exploitation and abuse? "That's different" because it isn't part of an activist political agenda?

The Albanians mafia is very brutal, if they want him dead, he’ll be dead.

Still not sure why this young man’s name and so on are being disclosed.

He must have been forced at gunpoint by Larry King to appear on CNN and disclose his identity. /sarcasm

The man has a pair on him,and deserves the praise. And why not? This is America not Saudi Arabia. And if they kill or harm him, they should be the ones who get scared, because most of us have had just about enough of their bullying and scare tactics!

They sure don’t treat him like a hero.

And Cherry Hill, where these cretins were living, has a large Jewish population.

That’s the sad truth. There’s probably at least a half dozen mobsters debating this potential promotion within an hour’s drive of him. As admirable of a job as he did, his crucial mistake in the long run may be admitting his bravery, only due to the current “hesitation phase” of our people. He now has crosshairs on his chest. I only wish more of us stood up to our fairly obvious enemy like he did. If we did, this man would not currently be such a lone target.

“Morganstern”

Sounds like a Jewish name to me.

I was wondering when somebody would notice that! Oh, the extra punishment these men will receive when it is learned their plot was foiled by a Jew. That may shame them more than simply being caught.

“I was wondering when somebody would notice that.”
Like the media?

“...the extra punishment these men will receive when it is learned their plot was foiled by a Jew...”
My thought was more the opposite. Morganstern’s life is gotta be in real danger now the Islamo-murder-network knows he’s a Jew.

Absolutely correct! He decided to take the risk, and it shows an American who will not be intimidated by the islamofascists. The sad truth is that it may be very difficult for him to obtain defensive weapons in the Peoples Republic of New Jersey.

New Jersey has some of the most restrictive and nastiest anti self defense gun laws in the U.S.A.
