Man, we are in dangerous times. It looks like the cells are starting to be unraveled as we get some good intel. I'm concerned that the sleeper cells might hurry up to execute their operations for fear of getting captured first. Use it or lose it...
That is one perspective. All the sweeps and arrests we're seeing *may* be the result of good intel. OTOH - what if we've been following all these folks for months, we know that something big is about to happen but we don't know what or where. Why not start making lots of arrests in the hopes of stopping something. I do hope your scenario - not mine - is the correct one.
