At a court hearing in White Plains today, federal prosecutors said they taped nearly every move -- using an airplane and a helicopter -- to track the movements and operations of the four men.
The videos were not played at the hearing and were not made public.

The feds said they tracked the men on the day they planted what they believed were explosives.
In reality, the bombs were fake -- part of a massive sting operation involving nearly 100 agents.
The men, who appeared in court handcuffed, did not speak at the hearing.
James Cromitie, Laguerre Payen, David Williams and Onta Williams are being held without bail on a variety of charges.
They have been ordered to return to court for another pre-trial hearing on Sept. 17.

The information learned from just the phone records and the email records and the members of their mosques and their relatives and friends and the susequent information from those names and numbers, all make this operation very worth it, no matter how dumb and unprofessional these idiots are. When these four criminals are allowed to go around for a full year, a large amount of names and numbers come to light and through those names....more.
Therefore, I don't care if the newspapers only talk about this small band of fools.
