The men were arrested in June 2006 on charges of plotting terrorism with an undercover FBI informant they thought was from al-Qaida.

This had nothing to do with the Patriot Act, vurb. The FBI setup and acted as Al Qaeda agents and recruitted them to perform the act. The Muslims feel for the bait. Google it, you'll see.

You need to revise the title to past tense. These arrests happened in 2006! This thread title suggests this is an ongoing plot.

PS, not all Muslims are al-Qaida.

This article states only the convicted were a part of an al-Qaida based plot.

+1. These people were not caught with warrantless wiretapping, or from information found through waterboarding. It was good old fashioned undercover police work.

Exactly. They were caught with good ol fashion crime fighting.
