Bloomberg (sounding both angry and panicked): "Damn it! What's going on with people? Now the newspapers are picking this up! I'm getting calls every hour from friends and donors at every bank and hedge fund in the tri-state fucking area!! We need to take back control of the story here people!!"
Ray Kelly (softly but firmly): "Sir... my big concern is that people are starting to notice that we have created a private army here in the guise of the NYPD. If people understand that, this is going to get much worse."
Bloomberg (with the whites now showing around his eyes): "Jesus Fucking Christ Ray! You told me NO-ONE would ever figure this out! You said we would be HEROES!! What the hell are we going to do?!?!"
Kelly (calmly and perhaps a little smugly): "Well Sir... there is this asshole we've been sitting on for about a year. Another wanna-be terrorist. We've been feeding him bullshit and he's probably got materials at this point that we can claim would be part of making some pipe bombs. We could always roll him up and claim that we've just arrested an America Al-Quaida terrorist who was mere days away from detonating bombs targeted at NY Officials and Police Officers...."
So the real question now becomes... which media organizations simply repeat the story, and which ones actually question it?
It will be nice to know which ones remain that can be trusted.
Update: and.... there we go! Entrapment mentioned. Yeah... this one is gonna get messy.
Update: and it starts to unravel. Turns out the reason the Feds were not involved was because twice during the 2 years (yes TWO YEARS) that NYPD had the guy under surveillance the FBI concluded that he was not a credible threat and lacked the "mental capacity to act on his own." So... how long until we hear the word 'entrapment?'
Update: we're starting to see the answers...
NYTimes? co-opted and untrustworthy.
Fox News? umm... yeah, they're fox news.
