By the way, for an interesting, though aggravating discussion on this topic, see the discussion at Will & Testament, <a HREF="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/ni" REL="nofollow">here</a>. You'll see I contributed a few times in frustrated tones. I'm better now. Thanks Quinney.

Maybe theorist is right, they've got to have screwed something up!! Congratulations to the team that got the bad guys.

That the security forces are right or that they are wrong. Lets pe frank, we have no reason to expect the security forces to be any more right on this than they were with Jean Charles de Menezes, or at Forest Gate. A significant proportion of the British public fear that our emotions are being toyed with in a political game that has a congenital idiot as its figure head - and I really don't put it past those PNAC psychos to do this kind of stuff. The other option is that some other psychos were going to blow up some planes. If that's true, then the neocons like Ried have just been handed an open goal, and we're all going to suffer big time. Ried already thinks that civil liberties are for woosies, we should all be violent morons like him - it's the only way. The problem lies with simple minded (I'm being kind here) politicians, who see the world in black and white. for them there is only one way, and that is to escalate the violent response because they and only they are right. The frightenning thing is that whatever happens they will take it as justification for their staggering hubris. It is dificult to decide which of two possibilities is preferable.
