Number of illegal wiretaps required to bring down the cell plotting to assault Fort Dix: 0
Number of prisoners tortured for info to bring down the cell plotting to assault Fort Dix: 0
Actual cause for the downfall of the cell: a concerned citizen and some good old-fashioned police work.

Note to Bush: Apparently shredding the Constitution wasn't necessary, was it? By the way, what was your rationale for fighting them "over there" again? Some New Yorkers might disagree, but New Jersey is not "over there".

Fighting them over there makes us less able to fight them over here. It also makes us much less able to fight threats like hurricanes and tornados. And no, it's not because the governor of Kansas didn't fill out the paperwork correctly, you asshole. It's a simple matter of "all my fucking equipment got blown up or just left in Iraq".

Note to New Jersey jihadis: Fort Dix? Come on, are you fucking kidding me? FORT DIX? Wow, just... man, you should apply for jobs in the Bush administration. You've got about the right intelligence level for it.

In our news meeting this morning, we brought up that very fact about how the patriot act had no part in foiling the plan... and we'll probably have a segment on it tomorrow. I thought you might be pleased.

As for the stupidity of the plot itself, I love what Dan McQuade (http://www.philadelphiawilldo.com) had to say about it:

"Ahh, yes, the six terrorists were planning a full-frontal assault on a fort. Forts are known for their ease of access and lack of security, of course, so this plan to attack the army really had a good chance of working."

I wouldn't attack the Army.

I would attack the responsible parties that are getting our people and other's people killed for nothing but their own oil profit.
