While I won't claim that the Zarqawi's death was motivated by timing, I do find it suspicious that many Republicans in Congress are faced with tough races and the possibility of being sent home that we suddenly have 7 angry black men in Miami arrested for planning terrorism. They were actually arrested because an FBI informant went to them and asked them to take an Al-Qaeda oath. There are already questions about entrapment on the part of the Justice Department.
Ruby Ridge already stands as a great example of government entrapment, but certainly not the only example. And during the last election cycle the DHS candy-colored alert system crept mysteriously to orange until RIGHT AFTER the election.
Certainly we have homegrown terrorists (the E.L.F., the A.L.F., the KKK, neo-Nazis, Black Panthers, etc), and the it's probable that radicalized members of the already radical 5-percenters could twist their version of Islam further to find an excuse to start killing people, but I still find the timing very suspicious.
Given how inept these guys seem, and how there are questions about whether these guys actually even visited the Sears Tower in Chicago, I'm even further skeptical. The final nail in the coffin, however, is how ALL of the networks on the morning of the bust interviewed a member of the group, Seas of David, but he wasn't one of the ones arrested. If these guys are as big of a threat as is described, why let him go?
