BE CAREFUL – THE THOUGHT POLICE ARE LISTENING – AT 9:02 A.M. ET:  There has been a major new terror arrest.  From Fox News:

A Virginia man has been arrested for allegedly trying to help Al Qaeda plan multiple bombings around the nation's capital, according to U.S. officials.

Farooque Ahmed, 34, of Ashburn, Va., was arrested today by the FBI and charged with providing material support to terrorists and collecting information for a terrorist attack.

Make no judgments.  Do not think.  The fact that his name is Farooque Ahmed means nothing.  I know a lot of people by that name.  Don't you? 

“It’s chilling that a man from Ashburn is accused of casing rail stations with the goal of killing as many Metro riders as possible through simultaneous bomb attacks,” said Neil MacBride, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. “Today’s arrest highlights ... our ability to find those seeking to harm U.S. citizens and neutralize them before they can act."

According to an indictment filed in U.S. Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, between April 2010 and Oct. 25, Ahmed repeatedly met with individuals he thought were affiliated with Al Qaeda to discuss "jihad."
On May 15, in a hotel room in Sterling, Va., Ahmed told one individual that he might be ready to travel overseas to conduct jihad, but only after he completed the Hajj pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia in November, according to the indictment.

Rotten, fascist, militarist Fox News.  Mentioning the guy's religion.  No wonder they hired Juan Williams.

In addition, he agreed to watch and photograph Arlington Cemetery Metrorail station and a hotel in Washington, D.C., in order to obtain information about their security and busiest periods.

COMMENT:  We're sure this is a cultural misunderstanding brought about by the fact that all FBI agents come from one little town in Nebraska.  That's the source of the trouble. 

Nothing to see here, nothing to see. 

(But I recommend you travel by car.)
