Making up terrorist plots

We knew this from the start, but now it's being confirmed by the mainstream media. That terrorist plot that was broken up in Miami was a nothing event. And, now we have even more evidence that it was probably concocted, funded, and run by the FBI itself. From the Washington Post:

But court records released since then suggest that what Gonzales described as a "deadly plot" was virtually the pipe dream of a few men with almost no ability to pull it off on their own. The suspects have raised questions in court about the FBI informants' role in keeping the plan alive.

The plot featured self-proclaimed militant religious leaders who referred to themselves as kings, talked of establishing their own nation inside the United States, called their headquarters an embassy and discussed plans to train their recruits to use bows and arrows. One of their quixotic notions was to blow up Chicago's Sears Tower.

Batiste's father, a Christian preacher and former contractor who lives in Louisiana, told the news media after the indictment that his son was "not in his right mind" and needed psychiatric treatment.

…

At the news conference, Gonzales acknowledged that Batiste was nowhere near carrying out a terrorist act.

…

But lawyers for the defendants have raised questions about where a government sting ends and entrapment begins. Not only did government informants provide money and a meeting place for Batiste and his followers, but they also gave them video cameras for conducting surveillance, as well as cellphones, and suggested that their first target be a Miami FBI office, court records show.

Unfortunately, the tale of the boy who cried "wolf" comes to mind.
