Wanna join my club? We got candy.

Last night and today, we've been bombarded with information about an alleged terror plot on Miami and Chicago. But the more I read about this, the more I'm reminded of Wag the Dog. Let me say this: if this plot WAS real, I would like to meet these bumbling conspirators, because they were about as inconspicuous as a rash on my face.

Their hideout was a warehouse in a rough area of Miami. They came out at night to exercise. They stood guard outside the doors of their warehouse. They tried to "recruit" (yes, this was the word used by their neighbor who was interviewed) different neighbors to join their organization. And they sometimes covered their faces.

If this was a Zucker brothers movie, they'd have "terrorist" written on the front of their shirts.

The FBI source said the alleged conspirators were trying to collect information about the Sears Tower, and that they had no apparent ties to al-Qaida. However, the source didn't know what type of explosives they planned on using. WHAT?!?!?! How do you know who they are or aren't associated with and what they plan to do, but not how they planned on doing it? It all seems made up.
