Commissioner Gordon calls on Impressionist Batman
This is a heart warming holiday story.
No, not the Kiwi teenagers rescued after weeks at sea.
This one: http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2010/11/fbi_thwarts_terrorist_bombing.html
Seems some angry young man wanted to blow up a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Oregon. Which I believe is the Evergreen State. Take THAT Bill O'Reilly. You want a war on Christmas, we've got jihad on Christmas!
Anyway, the FBI was on this guy from the start. They discovered his intentions fairly early, and then insured that A) he was really intent on blowing shit up, as opposed to being a delusional wanna be that was easily entraped into being a bomber and B) he never was really in any danger of hurting anyone.
It's worth remembering as we travel around the US getting our junk fondled by TSA agents that every domestic terror plot since the Anthrax attacks have been discovered, rooted out and arrested. Without waterboarding anyone either.
Where we have been under some risk is overseas flights. Shoe bomber? London. Fruit-Of-The-Loom bomber? Lagos and Amsterdam.
What we need is junk fondlers overseas.
Oh, and a credible intelligence capability like the FBI has apparently developed in this country.
