The New York Times, Post, New York Daily News, and the Associated Press all carried stories portraying the suspects as incompetent, even pathetic. David Williams was a wannabe gang banger who dreamed of being a chef, while Onta Williams was a cocaine addict apparently brainwashed in prison by Muslims. He was fond of singing and doing impersonations. His sister said he is “the dumbest person on this Earth.” Laguerre Payen, a Haitian immigrant, was unemployed and took medication for schizophrenia. Payen was illiterate and served 15 months for assault after shooting two people with a BB gun. He was off his meds during the terror plot arrest and was hospitalized.

Even so, the FBI could not just dismiss him as a wanna-be.
"The problem is if you leave these guys out there, they can find somebody with capability or find some of their own," the supervisor said.
The FBI informant, Shahed (Malik) Hussain, was arrested in 2002 and charged with trying to help people in Albany get drivers’ licenses. Facing deportation, Hussain instead chose to assist the FBI in exchange for a light sentence of five years probation. In 2004, Hussain was the central prosecution witness in a federal sting focusing on a pizzeria owner and an imam at an Albany mosque. “Lawyers for those men argued that Mr. Hussain, who had posed as a wealthy Muslim radical, had entrapped their clients in an ultimately fictional plot to kill a Pakistani diplomat with a missile. But a federal jury convicted the two men, and they were sentenced to 15 years in prison,” the New York Times reported on May 22.

"I feel safer in the city today than ever before," Mayor Bloomberg said at a City Hall ceremony to honor the heroes. "They have prevented what could have been a terrible loss of life."
Gov. Paterson called the plot "one of the most heinous crimes that has been [planned] in this city for a long time."

We're starting to get a rich picture of the four hapless Jihadis who were arrested Wednesday night for plotting to bomb two New York synagogues, as well as the FBI informant who deceived them.
And the overall portrait that's emerging is that of a group of struggling, disaffected petty criminals, who bonded at a Newburgh, NY mosque over having spent time in prison, before being taken in by a Pakistani immigrant looking to win leniency for a crime of his own.
There's little doubt the bumbling would-be bombers went far enough with the plot to DEMONSTRATE THAT THEY HAD THE INTENTION to commit terror, and for that they'll pay the price.
But the whole tale comes off perhaps more as a sad glimpse into the lives of a loose group of aimless and obscurely embittered Americans than as a dire illustration of the threat of home-grown terrorism.
Plato, will ya boy B. Hussein continue to play this entrapment game, snaring fools who buy disabled equipment from the FBI?
