I get the gnawing feeling that these guys -- reported to be stereotypical muslim fanatics from central casting (loudly celebrating 9-11 in a diner in Calhoun, beards, blowing thru a Florida toll plaza) -- ARE A DIVERSION!

Suggest something BIG gonna happen someplace outside FL.

Alarmed dittos to that. Not to mention specifying 9/13 as another "hit" date, all in English. They blow through a toll booth, and the feds and dogs are kept busy with a pile of M80s in the trunk. Sorry, not buyin' it. Nobody's THAT stupid. What are they really up to?

A diversion would cause us to expend a great deal of time and effort arresting and interrogating these jerks, to the detriment of other efforts. I really don't think that the FBI and whoever else is working on Homeland Defense is going to say, "Well, that's it. We've taken care of the threat and now we can go back to sleep." On the contrary, any terrorist activity is more of an alert that there is potentially more terrorist activity possible. If creating a diversion causes us to be more alert and more vigilant, then let them "divert" away.

I fear you may be right, too many things don't add up in this story

Why Were they insulting America loudly in ENGLISH?

If they were 5 hours late on a military type mission, why were the hanging around drinking coffee for half an hour?

Why were they specualting abut having "enough to bring it down" whatever "it" is in English?

Why would they bring attention to themselves by running a toll booth if they were on a clandestine mission?

Almost looks like they wanted to be caught.

Perhaps. I think they just aren't too smart, imho. See #19 & #26.
