richard reid, doofus

Reuters reports that the leader of Richard Reid’s mosque in Britain basically thinks Reid was too much of an idiot to come up with the shoe-bombing business on his own. “The way he tried to commit this act shows his gullibility,” he said. “He was sent as a tester…I would say he was very, very impressionable.”
Richard Reid, a dumbass being used by others? Gosh, who’d have guessed? He so looks the part of brilliant terrorist mastermind, no?
