Two quick things:
  • Yesterday, jury selection started in the Florida Liberty City Seven "cell," the Seas of David (Orlando Sentinel) who were caught "plotting" to blow up Chicago's Sears Tower (none of them had ever been to Chicago) - jury selection's expected to last 3 months.  It should be interesting to see what comes out of this trial - the details of the FBI agent(s) posing as Al Qaeda, the details of the martial-arts organization and their connections with the Moorish Science Temple, and how the public regards another terror trial.
  • We all know that after 9/11 other countries have been using the word "terrorist" willy-nilly to crack down on their unruly groups, but Israel's gone one better labeling the whole Gaza Strip as an "enemy entity" (Reuters) bringing in a pseudolegal justification of their apartheid.  One wonders why they need to play rhetorical games when they've done so well without it?
