Terror in the skies?

It is hard to know how to react to this at this point, especially given the way the administration has manipulated this kind of information in the past. That this was a British arrest may lend it a bit more credence, though.

At the same time, I’m getting tired of hearing how this is part of a larger war when it remains unclear how these disparate groups are linked. Yes, they are “Islamo-fascists” in Chris Hitchens’ term, but to raise them to the same level as a national government with territorial aims on the United States seems foolish and dangerous.

More on this as I get a chance to digest what happened.
