Crying Wolf Yet Again

All this talk of Terra must have made the Company want an example.

But as usual, all the cops here are Keystone, and paid informants will say anything for their pay

By the now, it's maddeningly familiar. A scary terrorist plot is announced. Then it's revealed that the suspects are a hapless bunch of ne'er-do-wells or run-of-the-mill thugs without the slightest connection to any terrorists at all, never mind to Al Qaeda. Finally, the last piece of the puzzle: the entire plot is revealed to have been cooked up by a scummy government agent-provocateur...

...The four losers were ensnared by a creepy FBI agent who hung around the mosque in upstate New York until he found what he was looking for...

Preying on these losers, none of whom were apparently actual Muslims, the "confidential informant" orchestrated the acquisition of a disabled Stinger missile to shoot down military planes and cooked up a wild scheme about attacking a Jewish center in the Bronx...

...The four losers may have been inclined to violence, and they may have harbored a virulent strain of anti-Semitism. But it seems that the informant whipped up their violent tendencies and their hatred of Jews, cooked up the plot, incited them, arranged their purchase of weapons, and then had them busted...


Just in time for the Obama-Cheney Comedy Hour, where both the Hard Cop and the Soft Cop go for preemptive detention without trial. It's just Cheney wants to hold the whip at Gitmo, while Barry O. thinks it's much cooler to ship you to Egypt or the Ukraine and have them do the questioning and flush you down the toilet when they're through.

No man, no problem. It's rather like Sibel says: it's just two sides of the same coin.
