Terrorism back in focus

An alleged plot by four Newburgh men to blow up a Jewish temple and shoot down military planes at Stewart Airport has refocused attention in the Lower Hudson Valley on national security and terrorisn, especially in light of the proposed closing of Guantanamo’s prison. Here’s what one reader had to say:
Our country is infested with terrorists and those non-believers had better wake up. … Citizens of the United States had better stop procrastinating that we are above calling a terrorist a terrorist and must call them enemy combatants. … Are the citizens of these United States so naive they do not realize what and who they are dealing with?
While another reader said:
I am glad they were caught, but if they believed they could get C-4 explosives and Stinger missiles, they must have had a reason. And if so, it’s scary to think there are networks out there where they could procure things like that.
Others aren’t convinced that the four men behind the plot would have been able to carry it out. This is what one person had to say:
Calm down people. Calm down. If the story is accurate, three idiots were caught planning something they seem too stupid to pull off.
Another person wrote:
This initially strikes me as more of ‘The Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight’ than a serious terrorist cell.
People are also praising the law enforcement agencies involved in foiling the plot:
Great job by the Feds and local cops,
one reader wrote, while another added:
I hope these pieces of trash spend the rest of their lives in prison. Good job to the Feds and cops that worked on this!
