Color us skeptical

Can't wait to hear more:

MIAMI (AP) -- Seven people were arrested Thursday in connection with the early stages of a plot to attack Chicago's Sears Tower and other buildings in the U.S., including the FBI office here, a federal law enforcement official said.
As part of the raids related to the arrests, FBI agents swarmed a warehouse in Miami's Liberty City area, using a blowtorch to take off a metal door. One neighbor said the suspects had been sleeping in the warehouse while running what seemed to be a "military boot camp."
The official told The Associated Press the alleged plotters were mainly Americans with no apparent ties to al-Qaida or other foreign terrorist organizations.

Maybe it's Jose Padilla's ad hoc sleeper cell. Or maybe it will turn out to be less sensational a threat than "a federal law enforcement official" told AP. Eventually, we'll find out.

    I liked the Florida story where the prison gaurds get in a gun fight with the Feds. But whose going to take down the Feds for all the crap they pull?
