FBI Bags Another Loser

The War on Terror continues apace, as another pathetic muslim is entrapped by the FBI into a laughable terror plot.

A Muslim convert is in custody accused of trying to trade two stereo speakers for a 9 mm pistol and the grenades authorities say he wanted to carry out an attack on holiday shoppers.

When you're offering up "two stereo speakers" - I'm guessing they weren't Klipsch RF-5's - it's probably a pretty good bet you're a tad short of funds. So when U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald says "at no time was the public in any imminent peril" I think we can take him at his word.

Don't get me wrong - I'm all for rounding up crazy muslims and putting them away. Anything that discourages fanatical muslims - crazy or not - from settling in these here United States is fine with me, and the threat that the FBI might be watching your every move is probably as good a discouragement as we have right now. Indeed, harassing muslims is a perfectly sensible approach to fighting terror - much more sensible than harassing every single citizen regardless of risk - and the more the War on Terror turns up nothing but pathetic entrapment cases, the more we should start letting everyone else live their lives normally.
