AND ANOTHER ONE – AT 10:47 A.M. ET:  One by one, the terror plots are coming to light.  Fortunately, good security services are stopping them.  But there's a law of averages at work here.  And everyone in counter-terror work knows it.  From Fox:

COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- Denmark's intelligence service on Wednesday arrested four people suspected of planning an "imminent" terror attack against a newspaper that printed the controversial Prophet Muhammad cartoons.

Swedish police said they arrested a fifth suspect.

The Danish Security and Intelligence Service, known as PET, said three of the four men were residents of Sweden and had entered the country during the night of Tuesday to Wednesday. The fifth suspect was a 37-year-old Swedish citizen of Tunisian origin living in Stockholm.

Jakob Scharf, the head of PET, said the arrests in Denmark were made after close cooperation with Swedish police.

"An imminent terror attack has been foiled," Scharf said, describing some the suspects as "militant Islamists." He said that more arrests could not be ruled out.

COMMENT:  They actually say, "militant Islamists."  Our official Pentagon report on the Fort Hood massacre never mentions the ideology of Major Hassan, the murderous terrorist who committed the act.  Is it possible that trendy Europe is actually getting ahead of us?  With Obama running things, it's possible.
