Breaking Jihadist News!

Somehow, I don't think this will be a headline story tonight. Josh Marshall on the Fort Dix attackers!:

Well, seems they made a jihad training film featuring themselves. But they couldn't figure out how to burn it to a DVD. So they went to a Circuit City and asked the clerk on duty if he could do it for them.

D'oh!

I guess that means these guys probably needed remedial terrorist training.

There also seems to be more than a hint of entrapment in the role the government informant played in helping arrange the planned attack. Back in November one of the plotters called a Philly police officer and told him that he'd been approached by someone [i.e., the government informant] "who was pressuring him to obtain a map of Fort Dix, and that he feared the incident was terrorist-related."

These guys turned themselves in! I think Josh is understating it a bit when he says there's a "hint of entrapment".
