    The article states that all 4 suspects were Muslim. Several had
    also served time in prison for drug offenses; they converted to
    Islam while in prison. They put all their rage and hatred in the
    service of the Religion of Peace.

  2. Fr. Dale says:

    Would these individuals have been arrested as a part of a “domestic contingency operation” or are we still using the word terrorist for activities here is the U.S.? Oh, that’s right, we’re only using the “T” word in reference to returning military personnel and anti abortion folks. Wasn’t the conversion to Islam in prison by convicts portrayed as a good thing by the MSM?

  3. Sick & Tired of Nuance says:

    “Authorities said they had the plotters under surveillance since June of 2008…”

    Gosh, I wonder if provisions of the hated Patriot Act were used to surveil these folks? How can the Obama administration’s Hope and Change continue to use the EVIL Bushler’s policies? In a few short days, it will be 6 months since the Obama Nation took control. When will all the troops come home? When will all those innocents at Gitmo be released to go about living their lives in pursuit of the religion of peace?

    Where are all the folks that thought G.W.’s deficits were so bad? The Obama Nation has quadrupled the public debt in just 170 days. It’s a new record.

    Where, under the constitution, does the government have the right to do what it is doing?

    If these 2 were converted in prison (long before Gitmo was used as a Terrorist detention center), how many more will be recruited in prison if/when we transfer the Gitmo detainees into the American prison system? Can we take that chance?
