Mini-Jihad
So, the FBI arrested seven attempted terrorists who were planning on blowing up the Sears Tower. That's good; everyone we arrest who seeks to attack our nation is a good thing in my book.
But then, they're wasn't exactly but... there there, was there? According to the indictment handed down, the men thought the best way to get started was to touch off a land war against the US. Never mind the fact that a) there are all of seven of them, and b) the real Al Qaeda probably would have slapped them sideways for suggesting such a thing at this point. Oh, and nothing says "secretive terrorist organization" like asking for boots and uniforms. Just because it made COBRA look snazzy on G.I. Joe doesn't mean it'll work in real life.
I'm glad we caught these guys before they did any harm. But seriously, it's somewhat like calling Butters playing as Professor Chaos an evil mastermind.
