Ed Morrissey has been doing a nice job of summarizing the news as it comes, and you can follow the story there. The government thinks al Qaeda is behind the plot, and if that’s true, then it makes any claims downplaying AQ’s threat sound ignorant.
It will be interesting to see what the full story is and how the plot was uncovered. We know that the Obama administration wants to avoid linking any terrorism to Islam, and that they want to do anything they can to convince us that the law enforcement approach to stopping terrorism is sufficient. We’ll see how those efforts hold up.
