[quote:5d60c]In a BBC news broadcast today, Miami Herald reporter Mani Garcia remarks that the government's arrest of seven men in connection with a 'plot' to blow up the Sears Tower is probably overblown.

"They've been described to us by sources as 'wannabes' -- still to be determined if making a connection about talking about doing an attack and and being able to finance an attack," Garcia said. "We've seen previous cases where the Federal government has announced with great hoopla breaking terrorist cells. And when you start deconstructing a case, you see that there's a lot of talk."[/quote:5d60c]

It's mostly bullshit, sounds more like a bunch of dumb guys trying to scam money.

Edit: The real question is, why didn't they wait until they had purchased explosives or weapons and then make this huge bust of a terrorist cell that was about to commit an act?
