#1 This article sounds like so much BS.

First, the judge said: Seyed Mostafa Maghloubi's plan, if executed, would have destabilized an "area of the world that has suffered enough from continuing upheaval," U.S. District Judge George King said as he handed down the sentence.

A little overblown, don't you think judge.

Second, the following was involved: three Uzis and a pair of night-vision goggles, according to court records

Hardly destabilizing of a region.

The Iranians can get arms from many places in the world besides this poor schlump. However, Seyed Mostafa Maghloubi is off the street and not likely to become a terrorist for a few years.

#2 JohnQC, do you suppose the guns and goggles were samples to see if the merchandise would suit the client?
