Have they ? :chin:
I still haven`t seen any evidence.
Perhaps a good time for the ending of the wide held belief in "the nation" ?
Very clever,
*wears conspiracy hat* it is terribly convienient though isn't it. Blair is getting a lot of flak and the middle east is going up in flames, so lets distract the public with a foiled terrorist plot....
The people haven't had a little shock for a while, and now's as good a time as any to give everyone a nice little shock.
I give it a week before Blair passes another law which restricts our liberty further.
This foiled plot would have taken months and months of planning, it is extremely unlikely therefore to have been inspired by Israel's current war against Hezbollah. Anyway I don't care what justification Muslim terrorists use, they need to be beaten.
I did have this thought as well, how long until the goverment/airlines seriously reduce what we can take on as hand luggage, and get us down to the basics. Would put a lot of people of flying, prices would go up and the smaller budget airlines would struggle. Its a good thing that they have foiled a plot but there will be a lot of knock-on effects form this.
How exactly would it take months? It's not like they're trying to infiltrate the CIA, such an operation could be planned in 2 weeks maximum. If it is a real threat, I hope they go down for a long time, politics is the way forward, not killing people.
It's not something they'd plan on the back of a packet of cigarettes. There's a level of research and expertise required, without knowing further facts I don't really know but I'd bet a lot of money that this was in planning long before the Hezbollah initiated war in the Middle East...
As for hoping they go down for a long time they should if found guilty spend the rest of their life behind bars in a cramped, windowless cell and they should at no time be allowed to leave to their cell...(Or failing that I'd have no qualms about hanging them).
Why would you hang someone if they didn't actually kill anyone?

Yes the causes may be that, but the whole point of suicide bombers is they have to be religious to do it as they beleive paradise and 72 virgins awaites them, so realy its impossible to seperate them from their religion.
Except that doesnt hold true, the Tamil Tigers are the biggest suicide bombing group and they are Marxist.
Not all are the same, by any means. Many are women. Many are university graduates. Many are not Muslims, and certainly don't believe in the 72 virgins bollocks.
Many simply resort to such extreme and revolting actions because they and their families have themselves been the victims of the most disgusting abuses themselves.
Muslim or not muslim, 72 virgins or not, I'm willing ot believe a number of us here might one day decide to go that route if throughout our entire life we've been subjected to an evil occupation and abuse; our house had been bulldozed; our little sister shot in the head from a distance by a soldier for a laugh; our brother arrested on no existent charges and thrown into a jail to rot for months at a time throughout his youth; our family killed by a missile fired for retaliation purposes. Is it really that strange that some people in that situation will decide 'the fuck with everything'?
I think it depends on your definition of religion.
This is nonsense. Most suicide bombings in the world have been secular. Marxist Tamil Tigers according to a bloke on Channel 4 news last night.
The book I mentioned was by him. Interesting interview wasnt it.
Then after yesterday they said that the threat has subsided even though there were apparently 10 people still at large...
And how is it comparable to 9/11 when supposedly these guys yesterday would have blown the aircraft up in flight and there was gonna be no hijacking apparently, or I am wrong...
Bush was quick to thank Blair, I love their mutual appreciation society...
that pretty much sums up western foreign policy though doesn't it.....
If they had taken out 8 or 9 full airplanes going to the US, the numbers involved would have been higher than 11th September.
Yeah I just realized that, dunno why I was thinking of DC-9's or something...
Weird...
Now it's been stopped surely they're going to keep trying till they top 9/11 - which i think was the main aim wasn't it?
