Another success by our Department of Homeland Security. DHS gets a lot of criticism and much of it is due. We always want to be improving. But we also have to praise and acknowledge that DHS has been very successful. It would be naive to say that DHS has not had a hand in keeping the homeland safe from a major attack since 9/11. And this Miami bust is another success. I hope to see some praise out there for the men and women who are putting their lives on the line to keep our homeland safe. And a counter to the NYT continuing to leak stories that aide the terrorists, we should be shouting from the roof-tops to the terrorists, "WE CAN INFILTRATE YOU!" Nothing will slow an organization like paranoia.
Blogs of War has a great round-up of this story:
"The group has been under surveillance for some time and was infilitrated by a government informant who allegedly led them to believe he was an Islamic radical."
Thank you DHS. Keep up the good Work.
PS. Anyone here what these terrorist's motives were? Oh, They were Muslim? Who wold have guessed? CNN
"Named in the indictment is Narseal Batiste, who allegedly told a federal undercover agent who he thought was a member of al Qaeda that he was organizing a mission to build an Islamic army to wage a jihad in the United States."

now that the true facts have come out are you still appluadng Homeland Security?
This bunch of nit-wits were more of a wanna-be terrorist cell
No money, mo arms, no explosives,
really no clue
just a foolish idea
seems to me it was timed to take the spotlight away from yet another illegal administration domestic spying program- this time our bank records
Thank you for reading my Blog, Anonymous.
First off, "According to the NYT's own reporting, the program is legal." (Stephen Spruiell, NRO).
Secondly, I remember September 11th. I remember the innocent people jumping to their death. I knew people in Manhattan. I heard their stories about see people jumping to their death, about having to run under an overpass to escape the dust cloud of one of the tallest building is the world being annihilated, about the day they could never image and now will never forget.
Anyone threatening to repeat what happened that day should be pursued and prosecuted, no matter how close they are to pulling it off. On that note, Anonymous, how close do you suggest we let terror cells get before we disrupt them? Let them buy the explosives? Let them get on the plane? I say, you stop them at the earliest possible moment, and thank God we have learned from 9/11, and our government acts at the earliest sign of danger. If you don't realize that we have learned and have improved and there is a proactive reason that we have not had an attack on US soil since 9/11, then you have got a serious case of BDS.
Thanks again for your input, and I welcome your continued participation.
Just wanted to post another source for the legality questions:
"The monitoring is conducted by the CIA and supervised by the Treasury Department. An independent auditing firm has been hired to make sure only terrorist-related transactions are targeted.
Members of Congress were briefed on the program, and it does not seem to violate any law, at least any that the Times could identify."
