Good for them. Overseas Americans will always be vulnerable, of course, but it's nice to see good police work prevent attacks.

It was more than just regular police work. Federal security forces were involved as well and have been tracking the guys for almost a year. As one of their officials said it's also a reminder that the terrorist threat is real. A good reminder how vigilant we all must stay.

I consider that part of "good police work."

And our security and intelligence was in on it too. Kudos to them as well!!


"The senior State Department official, speaking on condition of anonymity to describe discussions between American and German intelligence agencies, said the threat had been a major reason the U.S. Embassy in Berlin had boosted security and issued two warnings in April and May about possible impending terrorist attacks.

Chancellor Angela Merkel called the arrests a "very, very great success."

"This shows that terrorist dangers, in our country as well, are not abstract but are real," she said. "It also shows for me that international cooperation is of decisive significance in the fight against terrorism."

The group had an "extreme hatred" of American citizens. How in the world can you hate all Americans?

America and Americans represent freedom. And some people can't stand freedom.
