FBI Uncovers Another Of Its Own Plots, Senator Feinstein Responds By Saying We Should Censor The Internet

s you may have heard, yesterday the FBI "uncovered" yet another of its own terrorist plots, the latest in a very long line of "terrorist plots" the FBI has "uncovered" -- in which the details always show that it was an undercover FBI "informant" (often doing this to get off leniently for some other issue), who more or less goads hapless, naive people, into a "plot" that had no real chance of ever happening. This appears to be the same sort of thing.

Still, politicians never leave an opportunity like this unexploited, and so in jumps Senator Dianne Feinstein, arguing that the only proper way to deal with this is to, of course... censor the internet:

I am particularly struck that the alleged bombers made use of online bombmaking guides like the Anarchist Cookbook and Inspire Magazine. These documents are not, in my view, protected by the First Amendment and should be removed from the Internet.

1. Sen. Feinstein will be introducing the AWB

...the Assault Web Ban any day now.

2. Entrapment. Nothing more or less....the FBI is deploying nation-wide dragnets and catching only minnows.

Of course the Fear Media will inflate the minnow to the size of a whale.

3. It's about job security and justification for bloated budgets and rule violations.

I am sure J. Edgar Hoover could have made up a plausible excuse for maintaining secret dossiers on people even though there was no official reason to do so.

Excuses are easy to make up.
