So, the latest terrorist supervillain plot that Jack BauerBush & Co. have saved us from?
You know, the one that government officials have described as “one of the most chilling plots imaginable” which might have caused “unthinkable devastation?” An attack that would have “crippled America’s economy”?
When they caught these guys, it was all over the news. OMG WE HAF BEEN SAVD!!
Turns out, though, that the plot was never operational, they guys had no explosives, there was no financing, and no connection to any terrorist groups. One of the “conspirators” is a drug addict and occasionally homeless, and the ringleader sells used books on street corners, and exports broken air-conditioners to Guyana.
Of course, those stories, if they’re being reported at all, are buried in local papers. CNN, MSNBC, Fox….all silent. They did their jobs, after all — they told us of how the Decider has saved us from the Evil Brown People once more. Now, they’ve got better things to do….like giving us constant updates on the Paris Hilton jail drama.
