Al-Qaeda in Iraq, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, and al-Qaeda in Kentucky. One of these things is not like the others.
Speculation about “dozens” of al-Qaeda fighters let into the United States as refugees from Iraq is flying again, centering on an FBI video which shows the putative terrorists handling “heavy weapons” in Kentucky.
Whenever the FBI is involved, the official story is only part of the story, however, and the men in the video were handling “weapons” that were actually inoperable, and were provided to them by the FBI for the express purpose of being used as an excuse to arrest them.
The two men involved were given 40 years in prison and a life sentence, respectively, on myriad counts of “terrorism” and plotting against US troops overseas. The men had apparently been in the US for quite some time before the FBI decided to set them up.
Having discovered what they believe were the fingerprints of one of the men on a several year old cell phone in Iraq, which was itself believed to be linked to terrorism, the FBI made multiple contacts with them. First they posed as a group giving them weapons, then they posed as another group that promised to pick the weapons up and “give them to al-Qaeda.” The weapons never worked to begin with, and the two were captured, yet another in a myriad of high profile FBI “terror arrests” that was manufactured out of wholecloth by the FBI itself.
Wonder if the NSA will take credit for this manufactured joke to justify spying on Americans?
So, as people see these sneaky, slimy actions by the FBI, they will not be readily available to support the FBI in their real investigations. Who wants to deal with such creepy actions? Who could possibly trust such creepy people? Those actions plus general law enforcement abuses will only make for total non-cooperation from the citizens of the country.
This is not new. In the south, during the 1950s and 60s nobody would give the time of day to a Fed, nobody trusted them. I wonder why? In NYC, in many neighborhoods both the police and Feds were considered dirt by the citizens and anybody cooperating with them would be seen as a rat. Anybody from the neighborhood wanting to join the force would be ridiculed and an embarrassment to their family. I wonder why?
So, it seems that today law enforcement is trying to break all previous records in alienating themselves from the very people they are paid to protect. How sad. How sick.
I agree with you 100%. We are in an age of total irresponsibility on the part of law enforcement. There is so much hatred and bigotry and misinformation going on in all aspects of our society that it is impossible to see any thing but evil everywhere. Police brutality is increasing, people are being taken advantage of and set up for arrests so law enforcement officials can grab credit for arresting people they set up themselves in the first place. You are right Walter Cole – there is coming a point where NO ONE will trust law enforcement. They are all on the take or just dead ignorant people who don't deserve to act on behalf of the law.
i'm just wondering if those guys knew the weapons were fake at the time they were handling them or not. what if they didn't know they were fake and were actually wanting to send them to bad guys?

Did you watch a different video? The FBI FOUND FINGERPRINTS ON A BOMB. It's no secret that terrorist live in the US., especially in the Muslims of American 'compounds' -aka- terrorist training camps. These 2 were different, but they pled guilty to killing many Americans. They deserve to be put UNDER the prison, not coddled w/ taxpayer money to the tune of $30,000 each a year.
