Bloomberg On JFK Plot

Mayor Michael Bloomberg makes the most sense on the JFK plot, Stop Worrying, Get A Life.

"There are lots of threats to you in the world. There's the threat of a heart attack for genetic reasons. You can't sit there and worry about everything. Get a life. You have a much greater danger of being hit by lightning than being struck by a terrorist."

Sure there's still a threat, and I just assume there will be another attack. But all this plot and the Fort Dix plot show is that there are stupid terrorists too and our police forces are at work. As DailyKos says after pointing out this wasn't al Qaida, didn't need illegal wiretaps or torture and invalidates the fighting-them-over-there garbage:

"Now the usual suspects praying for more terrorist attacks to justify their apocalyptic world view seem to be pouncing on this case as some sort of validation. In reality, everything about this plot rejects their views on handling terrorism. And this isn't an isolated case -- the morons who were going to take down the Brooklyn Bridge with a blowtorch and the "Fort Dix Six" were taken down by traditional law enforcement activities. While terrorism is bound to be a low-grade threat to our nation for pretty much ever, this is all proof that bombing them over there isn't doing anything to stop that that threat over here and that law enforcement can handle the task without surrendering our Constitutional liberties to authoritarian fear-mongers."
