It’s a mixed bag in the War On Terror this morning, as the good guys uncovered another plot to conduct terrorist activities in the U.S. Unfortunately, bagging an Islamist terror cell in Miami was offset by another success on the part of Al Queda’s intelligence forces in uncovering yet another program used to track them down. Amazaing how some people disparage our intelligence forces even as they handicap them, then try to score points when they fail and a 9/11 gets through. Of course their failure has nothing to do with any firewalls or handicaps.

Not so amazing is the Houston Bozonicle’s coverage, which buries the both our and Al Queda’s successes underneath stories about Roger Clemens and the Andarko merger. (Noon edit: They’ve changed and moved it to the lead).

In other news, this blog may not be helping a lot to reduce rape, but I’m doing my part.

And thanks to the FAA, we don’t have to worry about Mayor White and Chief Hurtt sticking cameras on UAV’s, at least. Also, thanks to Six Flags, we probably won’t have to worry that they’ll spend all their time flying them over Splashtown.
