AP's headline is "Cousins plead guilty in plot to kill US soldiers." But of course they didn't get involved in this plot because they were cousins. The Department of Homeland Security doesn't need to begin a Global War On Cousins. They did this because they wanted to wage jihad. They met the jihad recruiter at a Muslim convention.

An update on this story. "Cousins plead guilty in plot to kill US soldiers," from AP, January 15 (thanks to James):

The two were part of a plot organized by three men living in Toledo who were convicted last year of recruiting terrorists and raising money to fund their plans to wage a holy war against U.S. troops, prosecutors said.

But Zubair’s into Rock and Roll, a hot dog makes him lose control, what a wild duet. Cause they’re cousins, identical cousins and you’ll find, they walk alike, they talk alike and then they’ll both blow up alike. When cousins, are two of a kiiiiiiiiiiiiiind.

Why do we as a nation, not get angry enough to demand that criminals like these be put to death? Prison time for a crime like this is absurd!
