Peter King would like to take this opportunity

...to be a gratuitous dick:

Concerning the arrest of the 4 XXX-treme anti-Semites in New York yesterday:

“This was a very serious threat that could have cost many, many lives if it had gone through,” Representative Peter T. King, Republican from Long Island, said in an interview with WPIX-TV. “It would have been a horrible, damaging tragedy. There’s a real threat from homegrown terrorists and also from jailhouse converts.


Now, I've scanned the Complaint. And aside from the fact that a cooperating witness was once on a 5-year probation all of their plotting appears to have been done at their "Honeycomb Hideout" in Newburgh, New York, a residence, not a penitentiary. It's possible there's more to the story, but not so far.

So nice dropping of the latest "piss your pants" talking point about closing Guantanamo Pete.
