Me jaded? In less than a week after the balloon boy hoax, this seems more than a bit questionable. Two guys who have been talking about maybe attacking a shopping mall for more than 8 - eight - years are charged with plotting the ultimate act of terrorism attacking Macy's or JC Penny's, or Filene's (OMG!) I think about two guys in the old make-believe Friend's Bar talking for eight years on how they might rob a bank - and then they get charged with plotting to rob the Bank of Boston!

It could be true but it's a bit hard to take seriously this week.
