Some of these quotes from the DOJ are just so ridiculous.
Quote:
“We will not let other countries use our soil as their battleground,” Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, said at a press conference in Washington with Holder and FBI Director Robert Mueller.
I mean how can someone say this with a straight face? We are not at war with Yemen, with Somalia, but we sure as hell use their soil as a battleground. And I remember that Preet name from Black Friday.. ugh DOJ.
Quote:
Holder said the U.S. government would be taking unspecified action against the Iranian government as early as Tuesday afternoon. Asked whether the plot was blessed by the top echelons of the Iranian government, Holder said the Justice Department was not making that accusation.
So I'm curious how low on the chain of being in the Iranian government these plotters are at. And what the hell does unspecified action mean? More sanctions? Yeah, that will change things.

The plotters planned to pay a Drug Enforcement Administration informant posing as a member of the Zetas cartel $1.5 million to carry out the attack, U.S. officials said.
There's never a terror plot anymore that isn't somehow orchestrated by our own government. It seems to me we manufacture all these terror plots, as pointed out by Glenn Greenwald in
The FBI thrwarts it's own terror plot (written before today)
