These guys talked “terrorist trash” and they could have even been trying to scam this FBI plant. The FBI undercover gave these guys some boots and promises. They, the boots, were never used for a terrorist act. Seems that they’d even lost interest after getting some new shoes.

Think about that. Is there any difference in you or I threatening to kill or destroy something then getting arrested because we either purchase or are given the means, no matter how insignificant, to do so?

As a former Law Enforcement person myself. I say don’t drink the Kool Aid!

Maybe the “Miami 7″ were given shoe bombs.

John Allen Muhammad.

That’s the second time you’ve said it. Now support it, numb nuts.

Me, I can smell the pee trickling down your leg from here, boy*.

It’s not up to me to explain your erotic fantasies.

But if you think I’m afraid of being blown up by some Muslim moron that doesn’t know how to handle high explosives, the answer is yes.

If you’re not, you’re either insane or an imbecile. I’m voting on the latter, based on the evidence you’ve provided so far.

* Guess how old this “boy” is, dipshit?

You may not be a conservative, but I wish you could explain to some of the folks here what “bad” really does look like. I suspect your familiarity with it explains a lot of your opinions.

Have a safe deployment, and know that at least 50% of this country backs your efforts, and won’t allow them to go to waste.

Weaver really is more of a thrat than the Miami 7. That said, he ain’t much to fear.

Surely you could have picked that up. Me, I can smell the pee trickling down your leg from here, boy.

In re: Randy Weaver

On the afternoon of August 22, Vicki Weaver, standing at the cabin s kitchen door and armed with nothing more lethal than baby Elisheba, was shot in the head by a government sniper… Kneeling on the floor and still clutching her baby, Vicki bled to death.
Nine days later, Weaver, a badly wounded Harris, and the surviving kids surrendered to federal agents. Eleven months after that, a jury in Boise, Idaho, acquitted Weaver and Harris of murder and conspiracy charges stemming from the government assault.
When the jury came back with its not-guilty verdict, Randy Weaver turned to his lawyer, Gerry Spence. “I ve learned something about the system,” he told Spence. “This is a good system. This system will work.”

drsquid: How many innocent civilians did Randy Weaver blow up?

If you’re so scared of Randy Weaver, why don’t you leave the country?

Try getting a conviction for something someone wanted to do, but didn t.

Ummm…how about sting operations that catch pedophiles soliciting sexual favors from kids on the internet? How about drug dealers who make buys from DEA agents during sting operations? How about people who hire a “hit man” who turns out to be an undercover police detective or an FBI Agent? How about someone who has Rophynol in their posession?

If you choose to call this a publicity stunt, then that is your opinion…I respect your opinion, and I also respectfully disagree with you. The idea that some lunatics living in this country would even “talk” about doing things such as bringing down the Sears tower. On Tuesday of this week, I am deploying….again. I don’t mind being on a Baghdad street where the metal greets the meat, but I sure don’t want to think that some wannabe is going to have free reign to attempt to live Al Quaeda dreams when my wife and children are at home alone.

Believe it or not, I am not a Republican, or even a conservative….but I am a realist. Both parties are full of crap in my book, but the point of the matter is, I am someone who knows what “bad” looks like. Hopefully you won’t ever have to see it.

Should we lock him up too, or does he get a pass because he says he’s conservative?

If you’re so damn scared to live in America, why don’t you leave?

Apparently, you’ve never heard of conspiracy or “attempting to commit” a crime.

Happens all over the world.

What a world!

Try getting a conviction for something someone wanted to do, but didn’t.

If convictions for thoughts about illegal acts were possible, I would have been convicted thousands of times by now, mostly for my thoughts about sexual offenses I would like to commit, but also for thoughts about assassinations of political figures and torturing bad drivers.

Wait. Torture isn’t illegal any more. It’s now a respected procedure in jurisprudence. What a country!

This is the same thing as the Dateline NBC special where they were catching the “internet predators”. The pervs thought they were talking to a 14 year old girl, but it turned out to be police. They aren’t arrested for “thoughts”. There are no “dream police”, the fact is we are snatching people off of the street because not only have they demonstrated the capacity to do something, they had intent. The Miami 7 had intent, that is enough for me.

And amateur mistakes can be as deadly as professional plans.

I vote this to be the most compelling point of the day.

Come on, people, this one is so obvious even you goosesteppers should be laughing at the Bush administration. This “Florida 7″ is a group of loud-mouthed goofballs who the FBI suckered into saying the magic words (bomb, al Qaeda, kill Merrkins, etc.). They had no explosives, no logistics, not even boots. These knuckleheads might as well have been planning to conquer Jupiter for all the progress their ‘plot’ was going to make. They didn’t even do anything actionable until the FBI ‘informant’ showed up (unless you count taking pictures of tourist sites; in that case, they’d best put an undercover team on the Skydeck, and bring lots of plastic handcuffs).

I know you trolls are always inclined to give Dear Leader credit for keeping your lame asses safe (never mind the massive ‘failures’ of 9/11), but jumping on this particular bandwagon just makes you look even more stupid and cowardly than usual.

If these incompetent  terrorists would have blown up the Sears Tower then you would have blamed President Bush. When will you realize that they want to kill us all?

Getting these people off the streets is good news regardless of your party affiliation&

Again. The sky is falling. The loud announcement comes seven terrorists in Miami have been arrested. Their plans? To blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago, to start  a full ground war against the United States. Attorney General Gonzales …
