Terrorists or alienated eccentrics in Liberty City?
When you’re a hammer everything looks like a nail, as the old saying goes. Perhaps now that we are rightfully concerned about terrorists, domestic and alien, everything looks like a terrorist group in the eyes of law enforcement officials. Like Boston Globe metro columnist Adrian Walker, I’m no at this point convinced that the sect/cell/fraternity busted by the feds in Liberty City in Miami was all that in terms of terrorism. Perhaps the case is stronger than I realize, but right now it seems to me as if the group is mainly being used to advance careers. What is important at this stage is that the federal government pursues a fair-minded investigation and, if proper, prosecution of the seven “brothers.” What must be avoided is an investigation aimed at simply saving faces.
One of the seven is reportedly an illegal alien from Haii. Now that he is in government custody he should end up either in prison or in Haiti.
