Another of the Bush administration's attempts to keep us frightened does not stand up to legal scrutiny.

One of seven men accused of conspiring to blow up Chicago's Sears Tower was acquitted Thursday, and a federal jury in Miami failed to reach a verdict on six others arrested in the alleged terror plot.

The U.S. Attorney's Office announced that the six whose cases ended in mistrials would be retried starting on January 7.

Lyglenson Lemorin, who also goes by the name Brother Levi, was acquitted in the "Liberty City 7" trial, U.S. District Judge Joan Leonard's office told CNN.

The men were arrested in June 2006 and charged with a homegrown terror plot that officials said may have targeted not only the 110-story Chicago tower -- the tallest building in North America -- but also the FBI's Miami offices and other sites.

At the time, sources told CNN that the suspects were dealing with a man they believed was an al Qaeda operative but who was actually a government informant. Senior federal sources told CNN that the men were "not related to al Qaeda" but "possibly" were al Qaeda wannabes.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that ALL of the people who have been accused of planning terrorists activities in this country will have to be released due to insufficient evidence or verdicts of not guilty. With the exception of Richard Reed the "shoe bomber", who was clearly not quite right in the head.

I have serious doubts that there has ever been a real organized plot to attack America, beyond possibly a few malcontents and lunatics who are most likely working alone or have some loose affiliation with poorly organized groups that just want to make a name for themselves.

And no I have not forgotten about 9-11. But I have serious doubts about just what happened on 9-11 and who was actually involved. I will predict that when, and if, the whole story ever comes out we will discover that it is nothing like the official version.
