That's more like it.

A Pakistani-born U.S. citizen, Faisal Shahzad, was hauled off a flight to Dubai and arrested late Monday; federal authorities say he has admitted to plotting the attack. He was charged Tuesday with terrorism and attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction.

"Jack Bauer might have caught him in '24'," said Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, referring to Fox's popular TV show "24." ''But in the real world, 53's not bad."

Once again, with feeling:

Catch them, try them and put them in jail. Common criminals and there's plenty of ways to deal with them.

Next!

did you see my dumbass senator, John McCain, whining petulantly because that American citizen suspect was read his Miranda rights?

Yup. Things could definitely be worse. UM, that shit's over, bub. This guy is going to be put away and be forgotten except for the fact that he was inept.

What I think is most pertinent is the fact this was an affluent man who had recently gained his citizenship - and then was ruined by the recession. Prior to that, this was the greatest country on earth to him. Hungry, angry people who have lost it all are the most dangerous things on the planet - race? Waste your time on that if you got it, but I don't.

And neither did the cops in NYC, neh? I love reports like this one - fact to follow up to capture. No school like the old school.

I shall refrain from making cynical remarks about Inept Bomber vs. IRS Guy.

The best part of this, for me, is finding out that the man responsible for alerting the police to the burning Pathfinder in Times Square? Is a Senegal immigrant. And...Muslim.

I also understood that the guy who reported suspicions about the car, before that, was a Viet vet who was selling stuff out there, and around long enough to notice things.

Catch them, try them and put them in jail.

It worked for the Clinton administration after the 1993 WTC bombing after all.
