How many innocent people have been murdered in the last 10 years by "Christian fanatics". How many by Islamic fanatics? By a VERY wide margin there have been far more murders by Islamic fanatics. Just to throw out a quick few: USS Cole, 9/11, Bali nightclub, train attack in Spain, subway bombing in England, school in Russia, etc., etc., etc.
While these nutjobs were "planning" this attack, they never executed the plan. Not to say they wouldn't have, but the fact is they weren't able to follow through.
The timing is a little too convenient, similar to Clinton blowing up the aspirin factory in Sudan during the Lewinsky scandal. Right thing to do, but motivation for moving forward was probably purely political. Right on the heels of the Health Care debate which was unfavorable in public opinion, the Obama Admin is quickly doing everything it can to change the public discourse to somethng favoring them. This case is going to be the poster child for backing up the DHS report stating that "domestic terrorists" are a larger threat than Islamic terrorists. Charging these guys with WMD is simply to satisfy the statute to classify these animals as terrorists.
Should these idiots be prosecuted and thrown away, absolutely. But the Dems, Obama Admin, and White House's media arms (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN) will be using this as a major political tool.
And please....don't bother with the "what about Bush & Iraq!" retort. It's 2010.

So funny, I never mentioned anything about politics. And the Bush & Iraq comment lol, The Hannity,Rush, & Glen Beck Right is so quick to come to the defense to cover how poor of a job Bush and Chaney actually did.
I was just referring to anyone who commits or intends to commit violence on the basis of religion is an idiot, and to be quite honest, religion is a veil or justification to them...its their personal politics and using their twisted view of religion as a crutch. These people are the minority as well. You believe we are at war with the Muslim religion? Wow. I know a couple muslims and had a friend who lived in Egypt...our developed stereotypes through the media is pretty far off. Middle eastern extremism biggest problems is our relationship with Isreal with their on going conflict with Palestine, our influence we have built in the region which was based on our need for oil in the past, and yes our conflicts we have waged, which you correctly identify as a mistake. Their view of Religion is twisted to serve them, use as justification and brings them together to fight whoever.
Its crazy, but alot of them over their see us as a threat to their culture, they dont want their kids growing up playing with plastic guitars in front of the TV. Thats why separation of church and state works. It cant be twisted. Christianity has been used in the past to commit violence, the last 10 years not so much, throughout history, absolutely.
