Nightline: "Sleeper Cell"
Excuse me? Do these asses know the definition of a "sleeper" cell? Nightline says sources describe them as "homegrown." How can you be a "sleeper" AND "homegrown"?

They were arrested for talking about buying ammonium nitrate. To blow up the Sears Tower? How?

4. Takes a big truck.
At the first WTC bombing, they brought the truck underground, and killed 6 people, did some damage, but everyone went back to work. Didn't bother the structure of the building.

In Oklahoma City, they pulled the truck up next to the building and left it there. WE DON'T ALLOW TRUCKS TO GET THAT CLOSE TO LANDMARKS ANYMORE.

So I ask again, how the hell were they going to blow up the Sears Tower with a big load of fertilizer?

3. It's also the way they said the guys in Toronto were
planning on whatever they were allegedly planning.

5. Which should be a clue that the plans are ridiculous.
