As our British allies mark the first anniversary of the murderous terrorist attack that cost 52 lives, we’re informed by the NY Daily News that the FBI have unraveled and stopped a plot to blow up the Holland Tunnel in order to flood Lower Manhattan. Again, we see the benefits (to our side) of Muslim societies being stuck on stupid in the 7th century. If they hadn’t been, they might have known that Lower Manhattan is above water level. Not that it would have been much consolation to the poor people stuck in the tunnel, but at least it gives us an opportunity to laugh at the inbred stupidity of the Religion of Pus.

So all is good, right? Well, not quite:

The News has learned that at the request of U.S. officials, authorities in Beirut arrested one of the alleged conspirators, identified as Amir Andalousli, in recent months. Agents were scrambling yesterday to try to nab other suspects, sources said.

They didn’t indicate how many people were the target of the international dragnet but said they were scattered all over the world.

“This is an ongoing operation,” one source said.

[…]

The Lebanese government had been expected to release a statement about Andalousli’s arrest but was asked by the U.S. to hold off while operations to disrupt the plot continued, sources said.

Well, it isn’t a secret or an “ongoing investigation” anymore, now that the Daily News have decided to blow the lid off of it, but we’ll let the pros explain how it works and why that is a Bad Thing™:

But another DOJ source added something interesting to the mix: “If you go back and look at some of our more successful anti-terrorism cases, they have focused on taking down entire networks. How do we do that? From the inside, peeling off a lead actor, turning him and using him to keep the plot moving forward so we can trace everyone else, the money, the accounts, the weapons dealers, everyone. I’ll just note that we weren’t able to do that with this case and leave it at that. We could have, but we weren’t able to. You’ll have to do the math for the Times.“

Preferably by using a large chunk of wood, a bag of rusty nails, a car battery and a bit of wire.

To save the Loony Left the trouble, we’ll hurry up and say it for them: “Nothing was disclosed that the terrorists didn’t already know. You don’t mean to suggest that they’re not aware that our counter-terrorist professionals are hunting them? There. No harm done.”

Now those of us with a brain won’t have to suffer through listening to their mindless blather.
