Iran agents 'planned US terror attacks'
racedo: you might want to read the indictment as well.
This was an FBI case being developed.

I noticed that on the Foxnews web page a bunch of idiots assert that this is a planned attack by Iran. Also see comments like "Iran has been itching to attack US."
Actually, no. It appears that stupidity in the US is as common as shots in a saloon.

500N,
They've done before. I spent 6 weeks charting every off shore installation for just such a joyous occasion. I would like to think that time was well spent.

You weren't part of the group that surrendered were you ?
What about all the military installations / assets that the Iranians have
which would be used to strike back.
Would we end up with a whole load of our and other assets sunk / burning in the gulf ?

500N,
Twas way before that! I'd have no worries about taking on their Navy. The Americans have shown that they sink very easily. Their Coastal airfields are easily covered. TLAM strikes on ports and inland airfields would make a lot of mess.

Below the Glidepath - not correcting
A lot of Law Enforcement sting operations get thrown out or dismissed by juries when the degree of entrapment is eventually revealed. They find some dissaffected or mentally unstable candidate who thinks and talks about doing these things, but has neither the means or method to carry them out, and then they (the Law Enforcement agency) provide both the means and the method. This case may well be different, but the political hoopla surrounding it just stinks of opportunism and exploitation by those with opaque agendas.

The FBI again thwarts its own Terror plot - FBI - Salon.com
Time and again, the FBI concocts a Terrorist attack, infiltrates Muslim communities in order to find recruits, persuades them to perpetrate the attack, supplies them with the money, weapons and know-how they need to carry it out — only to heroically jump in at the last moment, arrest the would-be perpetrators whom the FBI converted, and save a grateful nation from the plot manufactured by the FBI.

Funny how US knew in June yet did nothing until their agents sorry "Hikers" were released by Iran for breaching Iranian border.
The Iranians will be looking to arrest anyone they can use as a bargaining chip in advance of any reprisals by the West.

"Possibly, then again they may just invade a foreign embassy and hold the western diplomats and staff hostage!"
In my HO, 1979 and 2011 are two different era's. The comeback on them if they did that again would be huge, economically from all over the world.
You really think they might try that again ?

Maybe you haven't seen the interviews that the 'hikers' gave when they got back to the US? They are pacifist activists who are dead against US foreign policy, definitely not agent material!

Regarding:
Todd’s arrest drew national media attention — fueled by the fact that he sponsored a controversial law that allows handgun carry permit holders to take guns into bars in Tennessee.
Here's a local newspaper story. If you're curious about local attitudes, take a look at the comments that follow the story. This man also used to be a Memphis policeman, or as the regional pronuniciation would have it, POE-leaseman. I myself tend to enunciate the word in that manner, unless I'm being careful about my elocution.

Here's a local newspaper story. If you're curious about local attitudes, take a look at the comments that follow the story.
...
The Iran terror story has another angle which probably hasn't gotten much mention in the British and Eiro. news media:
The Iranian terror plot was apparently foiled and busted several months ago. Why did rat-face Eric Holder, the alleged US Attorney General ( a high, important position ) wait until this week to publicize the deed?
Perhaps because Holder is probably the ring leader of a big, grievous scandal and plot. It seems he used the Border Patrol and other gooberment agencies to smuggle a quantity of firearms to Mexican drug gangsters.
Time for Attorney General Holder to resign over Fast and Furious gun scandal? – Cafferty File - CNN.com Blogs
Time for Attorney General Holder to resign over Fast and Furious gun scandal?
FROM CNN's Jack Cafferty:
It was curious timing for the administration to announce the details of that Iranian terror plot yesterday. The news conveniently took the focus off the growing scandal surrounding Attorney General Eric Holder and the federal gun-running operation, Fast and Furious.
President Obama was reportedly briefed on this supposed terror plot back in June – but the feds chose yesterday to go public with it. When Attorney General Eric Holder was asked about being subpoenaed over Fast and Furious, he abruptly ended his news conference on the terror plot.
But terror plot or not, this story isn't going away.
Congressional investigators have issued a subpoena. They want to get their hands on communications from top Justice Department officials including Attorney General Eric Holder.
The head of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Republican Darrell Issa of California, says "it's time to know the whole truth."
Issa says holder has made "numerous statements" about the program that have "proven to be untrue." Translation: Holder's lying.
Fast and Furious allowed illegal guns to "walk" from Arizona gun stores into Mexico. ....
People over here are speculating that this Holder broke the Iran story this week to try to distract attention from his own legal troubles. Holder will probably end up have to resign. He may also be charged with perjury and with being an accessory to murder... and he holds the Attorney General job. Some turnabout.
There's another motive for the Obama regime to delay publicizing the Iran plot. Previously, the Half Blood Prince, who may be a closet Muslim himself, has gone to great lengths to try to buddy up to Iran. It's contrary to His Oness's previous behavior to give the Iran plot a lot of publicity.
Why haven't you-all over there heard more about the Fast and Furious gun running scandal? Maybe because the news media over there is mostly left wing and tends to cover up for the Obama regime. For example, I check out the guardian.co.uk web site and also bbc.co.uk. The two web sites seem to have pretty much the same editorial slant.
Me, I read Peeprune along with these other British websites to indulge a bit of personal Anglophilia.

Here we go.
What better way to stimulate the economy and distract the population from its woes than by starting war.
Iran is no Iraq or Lybia though and wont take it lying down.
