Not sure even this outrage, had it seceded, would be enough to convince the elites to take out those evil mosques.

Despite having gained U.S. citizenship, Defreitas, a Guyanese by birth, clearly hates his new country, and wishes to demoralize it in service of its enemies.

This s-o-b should be hung, then the Navy should dump the carcass on the beach in Guyana for the crabs to dine on.

<<>> how about we just shut these places down. they're just breeding grounds for traitors and anarchists. there must be something in the Constitution that protects us from these vermin.

These killers are NOT HOME GROWN.....they are foreigners that came to this country and then tries to destroy it.

[Rummyfan]

These plots show again that one need not be a member of Al-Qaeda or some other recognized terror organization in order to plan a jihad terror attack.

There have been ample instances of that over the last six years. Two examples I recall are the DC snipers doing freelance jihad, and the Egyptian national who shot up the El Al counter at LAX. But in the meantime, let's just open our borders and let everyone in!

Perhaps not all these stories can be explained that way. But when you apply Occam’s Razor, it’s the most likely explanation, for many of them.

“Not sure even this outrage, had it seceded, would be enough to convince the elites to take out those evil mosques.”

Of course it would not. They’d be on TV talking about how there are many muslims who reject violence, and we can’t punish them for the sins of a few, while at the same time pointing out that there are 1.3 billion muslims, and they are all going to attack us if we fight back.

[DManA]

Usually the only way we find out these guys are Muslims is the story saying the Islamic community is bracing for a backlash.

"If you hit that, the whole country will be in mourning. It’s like you can kill the man twice.”

Hey, Democrats...does this bother you? I mean, if you dance in the streets like Jihadi's when Bush is knocked down and spit on, do your yellow hearts even notice when the Holy JFK is mocked?

The plot involved placing bombs in jet fuel lines in the airport, thereby destroying the airport and probably killing thousands.

Nope, I suspect flights would be delayed while the airport is searched for more explosives...then the lines would be repaired.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

That would be the NYT’s take...

These killers are NOT HOME GROWN.

Bears repeating.

Great tagline!

Good point.

Thanks! I always planned to change to a new one after the amnesty bills die....but will they ever die? :)

[Blueflag]

True! Placing a bomb on a pipeline ruptures the pipeline, starts a fire, and disrupts operations, and perhaps kills/injures those nearby.

Too many folks think the ‘pipeline could explode’ or the entire fuel system could go up. That’s just bad science. The fire can only burn at the rupture point or points, and then potentially spread from there. But all these tank farms and distribution systems are designed with fire safety / accidents in mind.

While I have no argument this was a real terrorist threat, to call this ‘potentially worse than 9-11’ is just wrong.

I think what they mean is that the plot was developed here, without any formal outside assistance from groups such as AQ. Some of the “homegrown” plots have indeed been developed by native-born Americans, mostly black converts to Islam. I notice that they usually do seek outside (foreign) assistance, though, and in this most recent case, the plotter tried to get help from foreigners and also from a foreign terrorist organization.

That said, the headlines and the use of that word are intentionally intended to confuse. They’re intended to divert attention from the fact that all of these people, whether native or foreign born, are Muslims, and to make it sound like Columbine or some other domestic nut-case plot.

Defreitas had been employed by EVERGREEN SERVICE CO

I wonder what connections he had with employees of that company at other airports?
