Unbelievable
Some great commentary over on Making Light about the evil terrorist mastermind (and truck driver) Iyman Faris:
I don’t see why the NYTimes is in such a fluster about this supposed terrorist threat to the Brooklyn Bridge. I just wish everyone who plotted to attack NYC were as incompetent as Iyman Faris.
The guy’s a naturalized American citizen living in Columbus, and he’s alleged to have pleaded guilty to having provided support to terrorists. I say “alleged” because this took place in closed proceedings. The story is that he’s been traveling to Afghanistan and Pakistan since 2000, communicating with Al Qaeda operatives and even meeting with Osama bin Laden. And what was this group’s brilliant plan? They were going to use blowtorches to cut the suspension cables on the Brooklyn Bridge.
Yeah, right. Whadda buncha maroons. Have you ever looked at those things?

You know, what worries me are the individuals that are laying it all out in the comments, in language that even *I* understand… er… o.k.
