"Jury convicts five Muslims in plot to kill soldiers at Fort Dix; Trial raised issues over FBI tactics" by Julian E. Barnes, Los Angeles Times | December 23, 2008
WASHINGTON - A federal jury convicted five Muslim men yesterday of plotting to kill soldiers at an Army base in New Jersey in a case that showed an aggressive FBI effort to infiltrate suspected homegrown terror cells.
Translation: The FBI and their informant wee the MAIN DRIVERS of the PLOT!!
See: First WTC attack
The five men, all Muslim immigrants who have lived in the United States for some time, were acquitted on a related charge of attempted murder, but could face life in prison for their conviction on conspiracy to kill US soldiers; their sentencing is scheduled for April.
Critics of the government's antiterrorism approach said the case amounted to entrapment of angry young men, and that if not for the actions of the FBI's informants, the group would have done nothing more than talk about a possible attack.
However, security experts praised the convictions and the FBI investigation that led to them, arguing that the investigation stopped a group of amateur terrorists before they could execute a plot, gain experience and possibly spawn other cells.
With HELP from the GOVERNMENT!!!!
The case sparked widespread concern because it involved immigrants who had no contact with foreign terrorist organizations, and instead found motivation from jihadist propaganda culled from the Internet.
Oh, the INTERNET again!
Just gonna have to SHUT THAT DOWN, huh?
And CUI BONO?
They mean the internet sites like the CIA “jihadi” websites using regurgitated video footage and hosted out of Texas or Maryland?
Or the ones the Pentagon set up?
"such a secret program, for example, could include planting news stories in the foreign press or creating false documents and Web sites"
"the government has mounted a secret campaign to plant bogus e-mail messages and Web site postings"

New York Times Admits War on Terror is U.S. Creation
Are we CLEAR, readers?
During the 12-week trial in Camden, N.J., federal prosecutors argued that the men, some legal residents and some in the United States illegally, had planned to attack Fort Dix, N.J., where one of the defendants had made pizza deliveries.
Together they watched anti-American videos, talked about attacking soldiers and ultimately tried to buy assault weapons through an individual who turned out to be an informant. Still, the trial made clear that the five were not professional terrorists. A video showed the accused men shooting assault weapons at a firing range but revealed that they had little knowledge of organizing an attack.
Local Muslim groups echoed the defense's criticism of the government's use of informants. The two main informants worked to stave off deportation and were paid thousands of dollars. One informant told the men of someone in Baltimore who could sell them weapons, and the first arrests in the case took place at that informant's apartment.
In other words, they BENEFITED from FRAMING SOMEONE and the GOVERNMENT BENEFITS because of the threat of "terrorists."
Well, I'm sick of this crapola being shoved at the American people, and because of this garbage I NO LONGER BELIEVE in "terrorists!"
TERRORISM is CREATED, FUNDED and DIRECTED by WESTERN GOVERNMENTS and their INTEL AGENCIES!! Got it?
During the trial, at which the accused men did not testify, defense lawyers argued that so-called terrorist training was nothing more than a vacation that featured horseback riding, video games, movies, and pillow fights. But prosecutors argued that the men were talking about a potential attack before the informant infiltrated their group....
Think I'm going to believe lying, self-serving, fascista prosecutors anymore?
