Well, who does want to commit treason on an empty stomach?

It's turning out that these jamokes were terrorists the way the Three Stooges were doctors.

Suspected terrorists stopped for a bite

NEWBURGH — Federal agents were going to spring their trap in Newburgh, but four aspiring jihadists didn't want to commit terrorism on an empty stomach.

The four accused conspirators — James Cromitie, 44; Laguerre Payen, 27; David Williams, 28; and Onta Williams, 32 — didn't rush their plot Wednesday to blow up two Bronx synagogues and military aircraft at the Air National Guard base in Newburgh, according to an investigator familiar with the case.

Instead, the men ate an early afternoon meal at one of their Newburgh apartments, spent some time praying and then paused to eat again at the Thruway's Ramapo rest stop.

Only then did they head to the Bronx to plant what they believed to be explosives outside two synagogues, where they were arrested about 9:30 p.m.

They went from Newburgh to the Bronx by way of Ramapo?

I mean, I know I should probably be stuck on the fervent islamists eating in a thruway rest stop where the diet coke has traces of bacon thing, but seriously, they went from Newburgh to the Bronx by way of _Ramapo_?
