Circuit City Saves the World

I wrote on E-Gear today about the Circuit City clerk who alerted the feds to the Fort Dix terror plot, because he was perceptive enough to notice that the videotape he'd been asked to copy consisted of Arab-looking men shooting assault rifles and talking about "jihad." This discovery, in early 2006, kicked off a 16-month investigation leading to Monday's arrests.

Circuit City confirmed, to us and many other media outlets, this morning that the employee was one of theirs, but would not reveal his name, nor whether or not he is still with the company. And as Philadelphia Will Do and others pointed out, it's probably not too likely that the guy is still working at the store, because Circuit City fired virtually all of their experienced employees a few months ago.

The heroic employee has yet to emerge from the woodwork, but I'm guessing the fact that he prevented the deaths of dozens of U.S. soldiers would probably be enough to get him his job back.
