Just how serious was this New York City plot to blow up Jewish synagogues? Apparently not so serious that the alleged mastermind needed to keep himself from smoking up the night of his arrest. Writes NBC: "The ringleader of the four-man homegrown terror cell accused of plotting to blow up synagogues in the Bronx and military planes in Newburgh admitted to a judge today that he had smoked pot before his bust last night. "When U.S. Magistrate Judge Lisa M. Smith asked James Cromitie if his judgment was impaired during his appearance in federal court in White Plains, the 55-year-old confessed: 'No. I smoke it regularly…I understand everything you are saying.'"
