Expedient Election-Year Inaccuracies
So to recap, regarding the "Miami 7":
Just send these boys off to Gitmo, because clearly, their FBI-implanted thoughts have condemned them.
Just like the Canuck homegrown "terrorists" "captured" a few days earlier, who are apparently guilty of playing paintball on the weekends and REFUSING a shipment of amonium nitrate sent by the Canadian Mounties intended to entrap them.
Indeed, clearly we should all be very afraid and give up our rights and freedoms immediately so Alberto "Torquemada" Gonzales and John "Look the other way while they torture, rape, and then drop four American nuns out of helicopters into your back yard" Negroponte, can protect us all....
With geniuses like this running things, it's no wonder we can't find an angry six-foot Saudi dragging a kidney dialysis machine behind him.
UPDATE - July 26th, 2006:
It has now been revealed by the Florida newspaper, the Sun Sentinel, that the FBI paid "terror informants" as much as $56,000 to individuals who themselves were guilty of other crimes such as assault, possession of marijuana, and motor vehicle violations -- all to coerce the 7 homeless men in this case into becoming "terrorists". One of the informants, an illegal immigrant, also received valuable "noncash perks", like immigration parole, so that he could stay in the United States.
According to the report:
Gee, I wonder whether their informants will tell the FBI just what it WANTS to hear?
This is frighteningly reminiscent of the market for "suspects" that developed in Afghanistan following 9/11.
Our idiotic government offers whopping huge reward for anyone who turns in a "member" of Al Qaeda. So what happened? There emerged a nice black market in scooping random fucks up off the street, turning them in to the stupid Americans who never bothered to verify anyone's identity, and taking the cash.
And those poor suckers have been in the Kafka nightmare of GITMO for 4 years now....
It's called entrapment, people. And there's a reason why it's ILLEGAL.
- None were Muslim.
- Some practiced Santoria.
- Others were studying the Bible.
- None had connections with Al Qaeda.
- They were prompted/encouraged to think about terrorist actions by.... an FBI agent.
- They were homeless, and living in a run-down warehouse.
- They had no money to travel with.
- They received no weaponry of any kind, but the FBI did give them snazzy matching "terrorist" combat boots, and promised to give them uniforms. Because, you know, terrorists wear uniforms....
- They had bad thoughts. More "aspirational than operational".
- They surfed the internets.
- They could in Maureen Dowd's words, "Barely find the LOCAL Sears, much less the Sears Tower."

According to the report:
According to a document filed by federal prosecutors, the FBI paid one unnamed informant $10,500 and an additional $8,815 in expenses. They also paid a second informant $17,000 with another $19,570 for expenses.
