My theory is, it's a State Dept, CIA setup to keep the worthless war on terror going, as a need to do thing. Just bullshit. Notice there is a lot of FBI involvement with the plotters. It's probably another case of entrapment.
It also has the advantage of pushing the news cycle off Wall Street crimes.
Just the fact that Eric Holder made various announcements, man do I distrust that sob. He is Alberto Gonzales in drag.
OTHO Greenwald is a whine.
