... the defense says the seven are just the hapless members of a would-be religious sect who thought they had found a patsy who'd give them money as long as he believed they were planning a terrorist strike. All they wanted, they say, was cash -- to finance their sect.
Indeed, according to testimony, even the pledge of allegiance to al Qaeda only came after the informant dangled a promise of $50,000. The men thought they were scamming him in the name of the Lord.
And here we should note that when authorities raided the group's warehouse headquarters, they found . . . nothing. No guns, no bombs, no maps, no plans, no manifestos, not a thing that would suggest terrorists preparing to strike. Only Bibles, Korans, law books, Samurai swords.
Two juries were unconvinced by the prosecution's argument.

ON the steps of New York city hall on Friday, Michael Bloomberg, the mayor, praised the police officers and federal agents who helped disrupt an apparent terrorist plot to blow up a synagogue and shoot down military aircraft.
The mayor was flanked by more than 100 homeland security and counter-terrorist specialists, all of whom had a hand in an elaborate sting that netted four alleged Muslim extremists. Their plan, according to FBI agents, was to detonate a “fireball that would make the country gasp”.
The operation was acclaimed by New York officials for its success in averting what David Paterson, the state governor, described as “a heinous crime”.
Yet not every New Yorker was impressed by the latest in a long line of purported anti-terrorist triumphs that have supposedly averted tragedy in New York, Chicago, Toronto and several other North American cities since September 11, 2001.
“This whole operation was a foolish waste of time and money,” claimed Terence Kindlon, a defence lawyer who represented the last terror suspect to be tried in New York state. “It is almost as if the FBI cooked up the plot and found four idiots to install as defendants.” _________________ Simon - http://www.patriotsquestion911.com/
It seems there is a pattern of behavior of luring stupid and/or vulnerable people (drug addicts, petty criminals) into "terrorist" plots which then can be promoted on prime time TV as a major terrorist bust!
This is as bad as anything that Orwell imagined...
This blog told you immediately that Gordon Brown's "Very big terror plot" at Easter was a complete fake, and this blog was telling the truth. But the media in the UK have never realy admitted that the whole thing was a government con.
But, four days after this blog told you the New York terror plot was a blatant agent provocateur operation
Groom Your Own Terrorist - FBI Agent Provocateur Operation Leads to Terror Arrests
the mainstream media have finally caught on. The reason for the difference between New York and Manchester being that there are still a few investigative reporters left in the United States, whereas ours either repeat lobby briefing or write stories about Simon Cowell.
The Sunday Times headline sums it up entirely - "FBI lured dimwits into terrorist plot".
One question [about the synagogue case] that has to be answered is: did the informant go in and enlist people who were otherwise not considering trouble ?” said Kevin Luibrand, who represented a Muslim businessman caught up in another FBI sting three years ago. “Did the government induce someone to commit a crime?”
The other question that US security experts were debating was how much had been achieved by assigning more than 100 agents to a year-long investigation of three petty criminals and a mentally ill Haitian immigrant, none of whom had any connection with any known terrorist group. “They were all unsophisticated dimwits,” said Kindlon.

Summary:
"In the wake of 9/11, the Bush regime launched a domestic terror entrapment and provocateur offensive in search of trophy victims. "If Barack Obama's policies and pronouncements to date are any indication, there is little reason to believe that he will put an end to this insidious practice." Four poor and easily manipulated Black men from New York, are the latest foils in this sordid political theater. A paid agent, Shahed Husain, "targeted ‘mostly young black members' of the Masjid al-Iklsa in Newburgh, New York and was so obvious in his methods that he was quickly labeled as an informant." But the targets took the bait, lured by Husain's money."

A great circle of life here: terror emergencies fabricated by FBI to get phone records to find people to set up for terror plots which then busted by FBI to justify more terror emergencies to get more phone records.
