The Fort Dix Six

Credit it perhaps to seven years of lies and half-truths from this White House and a DOJ presided over by Pastor Ashcroft and Fredo Ganzales, but I think there is less than meets the eye in the recent "exposure"of the plot to kill hundreds of soldiers and create chaos at Fort Dix by a group of non-Arab "jihadists." The NYT today carries a story (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/10/nyregion/10informer.html) that to me implies that this may be another case of FBI entrapment of a group of naive, shiftless young men looking for a bit of excitement. According to the NYT, the CI (confidential informant) who infiltrated the group not only suggested Fort Dix as the target, but also told the group that he would obtain the RPG's that were central to the supposed deadliness of the plot.

Frankly, I've gotten to the point where I no longer believe anything "these people" say. And I find that a very sad state of affairs.

Am I the naive one?

When will the press wake up and state the truth: this is a failed human being who has lied and cheated all his life and has upheld that tradition at 1600 Pa. Ave.? Four years as Texass governor qualifies him for third base coach.
