I admitted to a few folks today that halfway through the NPR reports (this morning) about the current “thwarted terror” crisis, I actually believed the story. I believed there were 20-ish people detained and that there was a plan in place to coordinate liquid bomb making and synchronized airplane detonation.

After looking at these two pictures (one from CNN - you’ll need to hunt alot for it since I can’t find the original story it was attached to) and the other from The Citizen-Times):

I’m beginning to wonder.

Let’s see…we are worried abotu a bomb coctail whose components are spread across disperate liquids being carried on the same flight. It would be a *great* idea to mix them all together in one big vat then, right? No worries there. Nope.

Looks like it’s what I predicted would happen in the near future. Let the manipulation begin! The ring-leaders of the whole “war on terror” needed to re-engage the masses somehow. What better way then to impact their business and vacation travel (again) and relay an elaborate plot that sounds kinda plausable. Then, have it originate in a country where they almost have no personal freedom left (since the courts there can do pretty much anything they want to do).

Now, we just need a “successful crisis” to warrant suspending the two-term Presidency law. It’s gonna get ugly, folks.
