Facepalm: When automated news sites go wrong...

Big news today with the arrests of seven in Miami as part of a year-long anti-terror sting operation. Not sure personally that these losers ever posed a real threat, but at least the feds were actively looking for dangerous wingnuts.

However, the media do seem to screw up breaking news in the most creative ways in their effort to get it online first.

It was the photo credit that did it - Menahem Kahana sounds like one of those terrorist-dudes. And we might all be better off if William Shatner was designated an enemy combatant.
