Okay, we’ve been trying to figure out what the deal is with the “Seas of David” cult down in Miami that got busted last week for a plot to blow up the Sears Tower and a number of federal buildings. As I wrote a couple days ago, not only was their terror planning apparently more “aspirational” than “operational”, as a federal law enforcement official put it. They apparently weren’t even Muslims.

The best information, beside the indictment, we’ve been able to find is the interview with “Brother Corey”, an alleged member of the group who walked up to CNN’s John Zarrella while he was broadcasting from the scene of the raid and announced that he was “a representative [and] authorized to speak on behalf of our organization.”

Take a look.
