#1 If 24 yo Zazi has lived in the US since 1999, and returned to Pakistan in 2007 & 2008 to visit his wife, when was he married? Also, Kuby rushed right in to defend him. Besides hosting on Air America, he defended El Sayyid Nosair, convicted of Meir David Kahane's murder and for conspiracy in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Other clients include Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, head of the Egyptian-based militant group Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya, the Chicago Seven, Shabazz, daughter of Malcolm X and accused of a plot against Farrakhan, and the Gambino crime family.
Nuff said.

#2 NPR report on the subject, with a link to the mp3 (or whatever it's called). Things I've read elsewhere: young Mr. Zazi was due to apply for American citizenship in one month, the Feds have other charges lined up, the last thing terror groups would do is get the truck for delivering a truck bomb, which the group in Queens tried to do last week, so the Feds and local police have been frantically looking for the bomb materials --"Mother of Satan" is notoriously unstable (You can tell exactly how notorious by the fact that I actually am aware of this). There has been a lot of information flowing from the Pakistanis, possibly because this is a group of Afghans (Pashtuns?) not Punjabis.

#3 The largest U-Haul available without a CDL license is the 26 foot truck. Now if one of them was a trucker or they went to other Afghan communities, say Albany, they could possibly get a truck without alerting authorities.

#4 I thoughts keep coming back to this: when the news broke that the Feds had this guy in custody, why didn't the other roaches set off whatever material they had ready? kind of a hail mary play. yes it would have been dis-jointed, but wouldn't (in their minds) a little boom been better than none? and the propaganda valus would have been huge: someting like" you might get one, but not all, allen provides" or some such drivel.

#5 USN Ret., you assume a level of rationality foreign to the jihadi mind.

Further, unless there are blood ties, I suspect these groups consist of one semi-charismatic bully leader who has roped in a bunch of village idiots who, once they have signed on, start having second thoughts and are more than happy to settle for 36 virgins once the leader is under wraps.

If these guys were anything other than clowns, we would have been hit again. The only thing they have going forthem is that we only have to blow it once.
