Schneier on Security: This Week's Terrorism Arrests
by Acidus at 10:17 am EDT, May 22, 2009

This Week's Terrorism Arrests: Four points.
#1: There was little danger of an actual terrorist attack:
#2: They were caught by traditional investigation and intelligence. Not airport security. Not warrantless eavesdropping. But old fashioned investigation and intelligence.
#3: They were idiots:
#4: An "informant" helped this group a lot.

Good read

The whole thing reeks of propaganda to me. I don't mean that to be any sort of partisan remark. I don't thing there are really different parties anyway in practice.
