'Islamic radicals' added to terror plot
A CLG reader observes that the words 'Islamic radicals' were added
to the Fort Dix terror plot story on CNN's homepage --quickly and
quietly.

Subject: Story changed!
Hi there, folks:
I am a daily reader of your content. Thank you for all your good
work. I wanted to email this because I found it extremely odd. It
has to do with this plot about 6 individuals conspiring to shoot
U.S. soldiers in Fort Dix, New Jersey.
I have CNN.com as my home page in my most frequently used web
browser (old habit). At 9:29 AM today, I pulled article #1 titled
"Sources: 6 charged with plot to kill Fort Dix soldiers" off of
CNN's home page. About 1 hour later, at 10:25 AM, I went on the web
to do something else and that same article was changed to "'Islamic
radicals' arrested in plot to kill Fort Dix soldiers."
I have attached both articles in .pdf format for your info, and
they are both time stamped (Do an "info" on it if you have Macs;
view "properties" if you have Windows.)
The first article does not mention the word 'Islamic' at all. I am
not alleging anything here, other than it being extremely odd. I
have never seen an article change that quickly. With no editorial
comment from CNN explaining this change (e.g., "We earlier reported
erroneously that..." or some other editorial excuse).
I thought I pass it on to you all.

Note: The CLG is not alleging any cover-up or conspiracy on the
part of CNN. The significance of the emendation to the original
article is subject to numerous interpretations. It could be that
CNN forgot to mention this aspect in its first report. It could be
that they gained more information later. Or, it could be that they
decided to emphasize the "Islamist" aspect of the group in a news
meeting, so that they could help support the government's claim
about terrorism and the 'war on terror.' --CLG Editors
'For 16 months, the FBI infiltrated the group... We [an FBI
informant] provided the weapons.' --U.S. Attorney, Christopher
Christie, "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren," 08 May 2007 [If
the FBI informant provided the weapons, the *FBI informant* is the
only "terrorist"!]
Prosecutors: video store clerk's tip was key to foiling Fort Dix
terror plot 09 May 2007 A video store clerk is being credited with
tipping off authorities to six foreign-born Muslims [?] accused of
planning to assault the Fort Dix army base and slaughter U.S.
soldiers with automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades. The
unidentified clerk alerted authorities in January 2006 after one of
the suspects asked him to transfer a video to DVD that showed 10
men shooting weapons at a firing range and calling for jihad, or
holy war, prosecutors said. After the video clerk's tip,
investigators said they infiltrated the group with two informants
and bided their time while they secretly recorded the defendants.
The six were arrested Monday night trying to buy AK-47 assault
weapons, M-16s and other weapons from an FBI informant, authorities
said. It was not clear when the alleged attack was to take place.
FBI Discovers [Is Part of] Fort Dix Terror Plot 08 May 2007 The FBI
"uncovered" a terror plot to kill soldiers at Fort Dix Army Base in
New Jersey and has arrested six suspects. The ring of suspects is
on its way to the federal courthouse in Philadelphia. The feds call
them six 'Islamic radicals' and say they were plotting to attack
the Fort Dix Army Base in New Jersey. The FBI says they had been
living in Cherry Hill, New Jersey and had them under surveillance
for a year, after being tipped off by a video store [LOL!] where
the suspects had taken a training video to be copied.
