I'm surprised at the people on DU who have been making fun of what they call 'tinfoil hatters'. If this isn't a textbook case of a conspiracy, then real conspiracies can't ever happen! This administration knew as of last week that the arrests were going to happen, they started in hammering Democrats as being terrorist enablers 2 days before the story broke, they are cynically using this non-event to scare everyone into believing that we were only minutes away from having 10 airliners blown up, and The Fucktard-in-Chief lands for an 'impromptu' press conference 5 MINUTES before it is scheduled!

The arrests don't have to be faked for this to be a conspiracy. All that has to happen is that the government fabricate an issue for an ulterior motive, and seeing as how:

1) we didn't have anything at all to do with the arrests,
2) this was in the works for quite some time (some sources say over a year),
3) nothing happened anyway, and
4) it appears that the plot was nowhere near completion to begin with,

the attention this has gotten from the media and from The Fucktard-in-Chief is a complete hoax. What else do we need for this 'conspiracy' to actually be a conspiracy? Does anyone seriously believe that the media and the administration response is justified at all, and that it isn't solely politically motivated?
