@vlad,
On the Franklin quote: I covered that a bit as quoted above, but thread wasn't really about that so I didn't delve into it further.
On the Al Queda link: The link was established before this terrorist plot occurred from what I've read. Basically it sounds like his name was already on a terror watch list (which makes me wonder how he got a US Visa), so whatever they used to link him to Al Queda it had nothing to do with a detonator, failed or otherwise. That of course doesn't mean they are 100% right about the link, just that the bit you're questioning wasn't a factor in this case.
Anyways, the topic was really more about the reaction of the DHS secretary than it was the plot, it's classification as a terror attack, or anything like that.
