Take me to al-Qaeda

Well, no, not me. Those guys in Miami.

I am in Miami now, hence the eratic posting, and seven guys have been arrested for planning to blow up a big piece of chicago. Presumably not the musical.

Their (alleged) plans were a little half-assed or possibly even quarter-assed - they had got as far as deciding they wanted to cause some fireworks and then tried to find al-Qaeda for some assistance.

Finding al-Qaeda is not easy and has defeated the $500bn a year US military machine. Fortunately for al-Qaeda hunters, the FBI, CIA and the rest of the governmental alphabet soup have set up a ton of fake al-Qaeda types.

I always wondered, when watching the A-team all those years ago, why the feds didn't pretend to be them to take out their customers, or at least pretend to be the single mother with a nice rack facing trouble with loan sharks, or whatever it was that the storyline required.

Twenty years on the feds are so up to speed with this that you only need to wander along the beach asking to al-Qaeda to find yourself surrounded by a forest of turbans carrying badges. The next step is to open an al-Qaeda store in Aventura mall.

So now, if you have a problem terrorist plot, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... al-Qaeda.
