Hilarious! The neocon GWOT achieves new heights of absurdity.

Article:

Take a look at this piece from Linda Milazzo, who wrote an op-ed on the Miami 
terrorism plot. (That would be the nonexistent plot to blow up the Sears Tower 
in Chicago.) The funny part is the exchange between Wolf Blitzer and the sister 
of one of those accused in the plot. Here it is:

Should anyone in America incomprehensibly require further convincing of how 
feckless the United States Government is and how goofy and uninformed cable 
news is, here's an excerpt from an exchange earlier today between CNN's Wolf 
Blitzer and Marlene Phanor, sister of Stanley Grant Phanor, aka "Brother 
Sunni," one of Florida's supposed seven "home-grown terrorists": 

Blitzer: Is your brother a Muslim? 
Ms. Phanor: No, sir. He's a Catholic.

Blitzer: Does he go to church?

Phanor: Yes, he goes to church. He's a Catholic. We enter St. Mary's Catholic 
Church on 75th and Second Avenue.

Blitzer: Is he very political, your brother? Does he have strong political 
views?

Ms. Phanor: No. I can't really say that.

A few inconsequential questions later, Blitzer goes on to ask: 

Blitzer: Why does the government say he [your brother Stanley Phanor] is also 
known as "Brother Sunni"? 

Ms. Phanor: They all call themselves 'brothers'. Why, I don't know... but the 
whole little group calls themselves 'brother'.

Blitzer: Did you ever hear your brother being called "Sunni"?

Ms. Phanor: Yeah. That's his nickname. It's not "Sunni". It's "Sunny"... like 
it's a sunny day. Yeah, that's his name. 

Blitzer: So the confusion is he was called Sunny and not Sunni... because as 
you know Sunni is one of the religious groups in Islam.

Ms. Phanor: No, I didn't know that but now that I know... no it's not for that. 
That's his nickname and it's spelled S-u-n-n-y... as in sunny day. That's his 
nickname ever since birth....
