10. Let Me Run A Check...It Was All Over Chicago TV This Morning

Supposedly a man was nabbed trying to buy several tons of fertilizer.

Here's the Sun-Times story:

http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/nettles05.html

A convicted felon with an apparent grudge against the courts was arrested Thursday on charges of plotting to blow up a federal courthouse, but agents involved in the elaborate sting operation made sure he never actually had materials to make a truck bomb.

Prosecutors said Gale William Nettles, 66, was arrested with a pickup truck containing 1,500 pounds of fertilizer that he allegedly thought was volatile ammonium nitrate, the farm chemical used to blow up the Oklahoma City federal building.

Nettles had planned to sell the chemical to terrorists who he wanted to carry out a plot to blow up the Dirksen federal building, U.S. Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald said in announcing the charges Thursday. But everyone else involved, including the "terrorists" and the people who sold him the fertilizer, were cooperating witnesses or federal agents, Fitzgerald said.

Authorities were tipped to the alleged plot by a felon who had been incarcerated with Nettles at a federal prison in Mississippi.



Don't tell me this is the first you've heard of this??? Or anyone's posted on DU!!!

[MallRat]

12. Fitzgerald is the Plamegate investigator, folks.

...and his offices are in the Dirksen Building.

Now, I'm not saying that there's a connection between this domestic terrorist and the CIA leak probe... I'm just putting that out there for y'all to chew on.

13. Several of these arrests are the result of sting operations- entrapment

It is amazing that we have heard virtually nothing about terror investigations or arrests these past 3 years until now. They are obviously pulling out all the stops to produce some 'results' before the election.

I find it quite interesting that several of the domestic terror arrests have resulted from sting operations setting up and entrapping people that authorities knew had extremist views or tendencies. (These inept amateur 'terrorists' probably could not have gone too far in committing terrorists attacks without the phony set-ups encouraging them)
