Ambinder says something non-villagesque:

The FBI and NYPD may have broken up the biggest domestic terrorism plot since Sept. 11. And this administration, deliberately, chose to stay in the background, chose to let senior law enforcement officials take the lead, and did nothing to generate the sort of panic and fear that the office of the president, when marshaled to discuss these types of things, can bring to bear, even by accident.

For which we can all be grateful.

If this was the Bush Administration they'd do nothing until late October 2010 and then trumpet the arrest as why you should be scared enough to vote Republican.
