I for one am glad that this was foiled, and I don't think it was a conspiracy. I think time magazine said there were something like 14,000 (I could be wrong by a factor of 10, it's either 14k or 1.4k) terrosit attacks in the world a year (sadly with 45% of them being in Iraq or something like that). Regardless, terrorism is and always has been a problem, it's good to see when such acts are halted.
