Dick Cheney said yesterday that the group of would-be terrorists caught in Miami were "a very real threat." Except, after scratching beneath the surface just a little, there's ample reason to believe that's not the case.

Anyone who claims that the administration just broke up a plot to attack the Sears Tower is overstating what's occurred here. The "Miami 7" could hardly attack a convenience store .
