Federal authorities in New Jersey have arrested six men who allegedly plotted for 17 months toattack the Fort Dix military base with automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades, federal officials said today.Well, we can't always rely on the stupidity of terrorists. And we have to contend at home with critics of these sting tactics, those Blanche DuBois liberals who want to rely on the kindness of strangers.
The plan, first reported this morning by New York's WNBC television, involved four men from Albania, one from Jordan and one from Turkey, said Greg Reinert, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in New Jersey. They intended to storm the World War I-era base and kill as many military and other personnel as possible.
Charging document filed in federal court in Camden yesterday portray an ambitious and cold-blooded -- but somewhat bungling -- cadre who hoped to kill at least 100 soldiers, but also dropped training videos off at a local store to be copied, and spoke openly to a Philadelphia police sergeant about obtaining maps of Fort Dix.
At least three are here illegally, one is a citizen.

UPDATE: Tribune:
"It doesn't matter to me whether I get locked up, arrested or get taken away," a suspect identified as Serdar Tatar said in another recorded conversation. "Or I die, it doesn't matter. I'm doing it in the name of Allah."
Another suspect, Eljvir Duka, was recorded saying: "In the end, when it comes to defending your religion, when someone is trying attacks your religion, your way of life, then you go jihad." [snip]
Christie said one of the suspects worked at Super Mario's Pizza in nearby Cookstown and delivered pizzas to the base.
