It's not clear yet whether he really had Al Qaeda connections or not; I wonder why not if he's been under surveillance and sting.
Comments on the news sites range from relief that he was stopped, to accusing the FBI and government of entrapping this guy to secure funding for anti-terrorist budget and/or to make Obama look better just before the election...
