The Great Terror Threat?

They have no money.
They have no training.
They have no known links to Al-Qaeda.
There seems to be no evidence apart from testimony of an FBI
agent and photographs of group meetings (which might have been a
knitting circle for all they show).

In short, there was more of a threat that lightning would down the
Sears Tower than anything posed by these individuals. It really has
to be about the most pathetic attempt at fuelling US insecurities
surrounding 'terror attacks' originating from within the US itself and clearly
designed to enable Bush et al to instigate yet more draconian legislation.

I think public opinion and money would be better spent investigating real
threats to democracy and the American way of life. For example, US recent
secret probes into US citizens private financial details, US torture camps
outside the US, what exactly happened at the Pentagon on 9/11 etc etc.

In other words, impeach Bush and his key conspirators.
