Feds 'hatched and directed' terror plot

but its good for the ego anyway

HL reminds me of a less angry Tingkai. I was going to say dumber, but they are both pretty out of it.

How good can shooting fish (BenK) in a barrel (the RCC thread) be for the ego anyway?

I could post at a 'conspiracy' site, and enjoy the type of circle-jerk groupthink that many enjoy here, but it's uninteresting and unenlightening for me. Believe it or not, posting here has tempered my conspiratorial thinking for the better.

better than getting trounced in a debate

Fake bombs and fake missiles

[HalfLotus]

Posters don't often rationally debate the facts or ideas I present. Much more often they go after me personally or toss about partisan platitudes which, while entertaining to the peanut gallery, don't count as a trouncing.

Same thing happened in the case of the Liberty City 7. It took the government four times to find a jury who would convict, the first three were mistrials because the juries hung on the question of entrapment.

Same thing happened with three anarchist kids, though, the moment "Anna" started talking about bombs, they should have run the other way.

didn't say you got trounced, just said circle jerks are better

Careful, you're on the verge of MrFun'ning my thread.

The implication of your post is that you 'get off on' having others agree with you, which is pretty lame from an intellectual standpoint.

Not at all, but if you're just shouting rubbish nobody cares for, you're something less than a troll. Trolls get people angry; you just elicit a bunch of and snark.

Circle jerk was your contribution

I'm saying they're lame, you're talking about how awesome they are.

And add Elok to the long list of internet morons to make the "nobody cares" argument while repeatedly posting in a topic. Even if he had the sense to speak for himself, he'd still be wrong.

Same thing happened in the case of the Liberty City 7..

Was that in GTA 3 or 4? I never beat either game.

It was in Miami. A Fed informant seems to have tricked 8 people (one was acquitted, for which the Feds deported him) into thinking he was from al Qaeda and getting them agree to a plot to blow up the Sears Tower. The evidence seems to indicate they weren't really comfortable with agreeing to anything, but were trying to see how much they could cheat al Qaeda for (which I'd think was rather stupider than agreeing to a terrorist plot.

This brings up an interesting moral question.

If a Fed informant is posing as an AQ member trying to get me to become a terrorist, and I lure him into my basement where I torture him to death, did I do anything wrong?
