This government sting stinks.

We have an implausible scenario, a snitch up on federal drug charges (aka government key witness), the KGB supplying the FBI with a dummy missile, and an Orthodox Jew as the money man.

Not just that, an Orthodox Jew who allagedly participates in the secretive hawala system, which is widely in the Middle East - by Muslims!

The story just broke, and not a whole lot of information has been released yet. I hope they caught some real terrorists, but I'm awful skeptical of "sting" operations, especially ones involving foreign intelligence services that are only a modicum of friendly to us.

TO those who say it's a double standard to automatically accept that a Muslim is a terrorist but a Jew is not, well, it's not if you consider statistical probability. There are daily Islamic terrorist attacks around the world, but when's the last time you heard of a Jewish suicide bomber, or Jews trying to shoot down commercial aircraft with missiles? It's definately atypical behavior, and therefore I belive worthy of some skepticism.
