FBI Disrupts Alleged NYC Plot

The FBI has disrupted a potential plot to blow up transportation infrastructure in New York City. The plan, which was reportedly disrupted early in the formulation stages, called for attacks on tunnels in and out of Manhattan.

This plot was cracked by FBI agents monitoring chat rooms used by extremists. I guarantee the agents didn't type "Islamic extremist chat room" into Google.

Instead, this find is right out of Echelon. No one is ever going to say it publicly, but I'd bet you one billion dollars that's where it started.

Still think the NSA is an evil agency? Are you really sure the intelligence agencies should not be monitoring communications?
