The Wall Street Journal has an article detailing how the Paris attackers operated out in the open, using their own names, credit cards and drivers licenses. Even more absurd the leader was interviewed for a Terrorist of the Month profile piece in ISIS's english language magazine bragging that he had stockpiled weapons in preparation for an attack.

Combined with the evidence that they communicated over unencrypted SMS the evidence is pretty damning that the surveillance state is in the hands of the Keystone Kops.

  While exact numbers are difficult to establish, there are between 3-6 million American Muslims."

  That's only 1% to 2% of the population, yet the NYT is saying they're to blame for more than a third of those incidents? Maybe the bigots are onto something.

  It depends on how many white supremacists, antigovernment fanatics, or other non-Muslim extremists there are in the US don't you think?
