Good to know: Al-Qaida's as lazy as I am...

Maybe even more so. From MSNBC.com:

"NEW YORK - Authorities have disrupted planning by foreign terrorists for an attack on New York City tunnels, officials said Friday.

NBC News has learned from a senior counterterrorism official that U.S. and New York City authorities had known about a plot to blow up a tunnel in the city and flood the downtown area for a year and a half, but the plan was not advanced and never moved beyond the discussion stage.

According to a counter-terrorism official with knowledge of the plot, the plotters never cased the tunnels, never had any bomb-making materials to pull off the job, and were not even located in the U.S, but rather overseas. "

In fact the only way they knew about this was from monitoring an Internet chat room, and Professor X. What's funny about this to me, is that they knew about it for a year and a half, waiting, and then what? Was one of the "plotters" going out for a pizza and that's when the authorities decided to make their move? Something sounds oddly political about the timing of this whole thing. Either way, its nice to know that they're keeping their planning in their day dreams rather than putting in the man power. Sounds like they have alot in common with the guys who drafted up the Iraq war.
