This, of course, sounds skeptical, but I acknowledge I may simply be wrong in my assessment:
How exactly would blowing up Holland Tunnel, while still being a horrible act for those within said tunnel, flood lower Manhattan? Manhattan is above sea level and the tunnel's level is below it.
Am I missing something?
Did we simply catch some really incompetent terrorists?

The holland tunnel was not mentioned in the plot... that detail was incorrect and added by the media.

My take on it was that blowing up public rail (but not that tunnel) and the flooding were two separate acts in the same overall plan. One cause flood, two cut off escape. But blowing up a subway wasnt meant to cause the floor, that was a separate explosion at an area I dont quite understand.

I was much more excited at the prospect of having Keystone al'Kayda.

My first thoughts were along the lines of "Man if all the fbi agents are scouring terrorist chat rooms, its probably yhe ideal time to buy some boones farm and try to score some high school girls on AOL"

I'm in for the making plans thing. Once again, I have no room, but a plan could be good. I'm torn though. The brilliance that was Monster Movie bash at the Starlight makes me yearn for the Drive-Invasion that weekend. But my inner geek refuses to concede any of the time. On top of that, there's an autocross that Sunday. cry.

We'll inform you of plans and will take special music requests like we were able to do for your housewarming ;)

Damnit, didn't fall into my trap!

If there's anyone I can get into trouble at work, it's you!

It's not like the gov has ever discovered anything other than dumbasses and more chances for publicity with any of these highly publicized arrests of the Forces of Evil (tm)

I am waiting for the DOJ to trot out schematics of sharks with laser beams on their heads.

Don't you mean, "sharks with laser beans on their frickin' heads"?

I just had an image of terrorists running around metro Atlanta turning on sprinklers and hoses to get people in trouble with the water ban.

Truly that would constitute a failure of imagination on the part of the FBI.
