The big news of the day is the foiled terrorist attack on New York. But as I read and hear more about it (especially on foreign TV stations and independant radio) it doesn't sound like much of a plot. The so-called terrorist had no money, no explosives, no knowledge of how to build bombs and actually thought blowing up a tunnel under the water would flood the city (uh, wouldn't the tunnel be what gets flooded and not the city? How does blowing up a tunnel flood the higher ground areas?). Some reports state that the FBI isn't really sure what tunnel these guys were targeting and maybe the "terrorists" weren't sure either.
I'm not saying these guys could not have become dangerous over time, and I don't think it's wrong to arrest them. But does this really need to be the top news story of the day? Should they be treating this like a full-on terror attack when these guys were nowhere near actually being able to do anything?
