The father of Bronx terror plot suspect David Williams insisted Tuesday that his son is "innocent" - the victim of a massive conspiracy by the feds.

"This plot was actually used as a ploy to upset the closing of Guantanamo Bay," the father, also named David Williams, said. "The timing of the plot was perfect to stop President Obama."

The family called a press conference Tuesday to air their defense, which sounds like it was ripped from a script for "24."

It's not the first time the younger Williams, 28, claims he was entrapped.

1. Yet Another Bogus 'Terror' Plot

By Robert Dreyfuss / Nation

By the now, it's maddeningly familiar. A scary terrorist plot is announced. Then it's revealed that the suspects are a hapless bunch of ne'er-do-wells or run-of-the-mill thugs without the slightest connection to any terrorists at all, never mind to Al Qaeda. Finally, the last piece of the puzzle: the entire plot is revealed to have been cooked up by a scummy government agent-provocateur.

I've seen this movie before.

In this case, the alleged perps -- Onta Williams, James Cromitie, David Williams, and Laguerre Payen -- were losers, ex-cons, drug addicts. Al Qaeda they're not. Without the assistance of the agent who entrapped them, they would never have dreamed of committing political violence, nor would they have had the slightest idea about where to acquire plastic explosives or a Stinger missile. That didn't stop prosecutors from acting as if they'd captured Osama bin Laden himself. Noted the Los Angeles Times:

Prosecutors called it the latest in a string of homegrown terrorism plots hatched after Sept. 11.

"It's hard to envision a more chilling plot," Assistant U.S. Atty. Eric Snyder said in court Thursday. He described all four suspects as "eager to bring death to Jews."

Actually, it's hard to imagine a stupider, less competent, and less important plot. The four losers were ensnared by a creepy FBI agent who hung around the mosque in upstate New York until he found what he was looking for.

It is disgusting and outrageous that the FBI is sending provocateurs into mosques.

The headlines reinforce the very fear that Dick Cheney is trying to stir up. The story strengthens the narrative that the "homeland" is under attack. It's not. As I've written repeatedly, since 9/11 not a single American has even been punched in the nose by an angry Muslim, as far as I can tell. Plot after plot -- the destruction of the Brooklyn Bridge! bombing the New York Subways! taking down the Sears Tower! bombing the Prudential building in Newark! -- proved to be utter nonsense.

3. Of course they were set up

What can be done about it is the question.I know that Obama understands what happened,but will he do anything about it?

4. Anyone who has followed the pathetic entrapment they ran in Miami

and their repeated attempts to get a conviction on some similar poor men including Haitians, smelled this federal scam a mile away, as soon as they saw the first article on it. It was identical in every respect. More _Bush league schemes to make it appear the WASP "Homeland" was in danger from brown and black Islamic people.

5. Shamelessly missing all the attention toward the City of Newburgh...

..where the first Purple Heart was awarded (yet the museum moved by hypocritical rightwingnutjob to a "safer" suburban, albeit inaccurate, location). The place where the first President George refused the crown. A melting pot example of what our forefathers truly envisioned.

It was obvious from the start that this was entrapment.
