This is who they're busting? They're going out and trying to recruit NEW AQ members and then busting them? That's fucking retarded. That they are wasting manpower on this type of operation, instead of trying to find the active cells or the actual recruiters, tells me we're in a lot of trouble. The keystone cops of terror.

While the authorities said that they had no evidence that either man had actually provided support to terrorists, they said they had taped each man swearing his allegiance to Osama bin Laden, Mr. Browne said.
According to a statement released by David N. Kelley, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York, and John Klochan, the acting assistant director in charge of the New York office of the F.B.I., the complaint contends that between 2003 and sometime this month, the men met with a law enforcement informant and an F.B.I. agent who was posing as a Qaeda operative and recruiter."
