quick! look! over there! terrorists!
From today’s Washington Post:
Is anyone still buying this crap? Don’t the kids from the big white house know: The Boy Who Cried Wolf isn’t just a ripping good yarn, it’s a powerful life lesson, too!
“Luckily,” this one didn’t seem break through the misdiagnosed Port scandal, a big fat world of real violence, and the unfortunate news that everything we all said about what would happen to abortion rights should Alito make it to the Supreme Court is about to come true.
And then there’s the ongoing displeasure with the illegal domestic spying. . . but don’t think Abu Gonzales didn’t try to work that in.
If you saw the tape of the press conference, Gonzales all but said “wink, wink, nudge, nudge” when asked about whether the NSA dragnet helped snare these poor schmucks. And, by letting that slip, the AG is either lying, or he is committing treason by divulging top secret sources and methods. . . at least that’s how Gonzo himself would see it, right?
Anyway, back to the “Ohio Cell.” It sounds like the usual dodgy half-case that has become the industry standard for this administration’s DoJ. Even FBI Deputy Director John Pistole openly compares these guys to the “Lackawanna Six”—and that’s far from what anyone would call a “slam dunk.” (Even George Tenet.) Wouldn’t it be cool if we had a Justice Department that actually wanted to protect us rather than distract us?
Yeah. . . sorry about that last part. . . hallucinating.
(PS This is my 100th post on guy2k. . . woohoo!)
The Justice Department accused three Ohio men yesterday of plotting to kill U.S. and coalition troops in Iraq, allegedly by seeking to set up a Middle Eastern terrorism camp where insurgents would be trained and equipped.
One of the men also was charged with threatening to kill or hurt President Bush. It is not clear, however, how close the trio came to carrying out any of their alleged plans or whether they intended to fight in Iraq themselves.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Gonzales did not answer directly when asked whether the government's controversial warrantless surveillance program was used in the case.
