Not enough evidence to prosecute Brit terror suspects?
Gee, what a shock! No explosives were found. No airline tickets were actually purchased. Most of the suspects didn't even have passports - kind of a minor little detail, wouldn't you say? I was watching the news this evening, and they were saying how many of the people arrested in Britain on terror charges had either been let go or convicted of relatively minor charges. This one looks like it will be no different.

No wonder BushCo wants to just lock them up and throw away the key, and to hell with due process.

2. But they were right on the edge. We just made it through this one.
Thank God for Bush. You wouldn't even be able to post this if not for our President. You'd be speakin' all Iraqi.

3. They shouldn't have given into pressure from Bush to
break it up before they were ready to do so - assuming the plot was real.

4. The important thing is to find out

just "who" put the squeeze on the British to arrest these guys early.

I think the news sources can be more specific than "the Americans". Maybe it was some genius in the Bush admin.

A hand in the bush is better than a bird in the tree.

5. Well, the Brits said it was in the "pre-planning" stages...
Which would mean that they weren't planning YET.

So: no bombs, no preparations, and no plans,
after their group was 'infiltrated' by
an undercover agent over a year ago....

This case is just simply BULLSHIT.

A big load of steaming bushshit.

7. Bet it is not the last such "chilling plot" we hear of before the election
