The news of the ridiculously simple escape by a terrorist suspect in Pakistan struck me as very bizarre in every detail, as I noted in my first post. I tend to not want to speculate too much because some possible scenarios have interesting potential for our side. But reporting in the UK Times [...]

One of the key planners behind a plot to load bombs on up to 12 commercial airliners heading from Europe to the US, and exploding them over the US so they could rain down death and destruction on our cities, recently escaped Pakistan authorities. Now we learn he escaped with the help of Police [...]

Will this country go into 2008 with a future bright and hopeful (compared to the endless doom and gloom, and false charges of conspiracy the come from the leftward Media)? Who knows. Some very disturbing news is out of Pakistan this morning. It seems one of the key masterminds in the UK [...]

I was flying when the London plot to use gels or liquids to destroy airlines became public last year. I am flying again today, so the details coming out about last summer’s threat strikes very close to home:
Terrorists who had planned to detonate gel-based explosives on U.S.-bound flights from London last August would have [...]

I had suspected that the UK Bomb Plot that was thwarted in August (thanks to the NSA and CIA and the Treasury’s SWIFT program no doubt) was probably going to be timed to do the most damage by exploding over US cities. It seems I was correct:
A group of alleged terrorists arrested in London [...]

It seems US intelligence was the driving force to roll up the UK bomb plotters this summer and threatened to take actions themselves if the UK and Pakistan did not move to stop the terrorist cells’ efforts:
The US warned Britain that it was prepared to seize the key suspect in the UK’s biggest ever anti-terrorism [...]

Man, that London Airline Plot really got people nervous as we see in another flight diversion due to a bomb scare. I flew that day so I guess was inocculated to some degree, but we hear of scares now once or twice a week since the plot to down 9 airlines was exposed. [...]

Some dots are just not that hard to connect, if the liberals would allow government’s to see the dots.
An Islamic charity’s bank accounts were frozen over the alleged abuse of funds for terrorist purposes.
Crescent Relief, set up by Abdul Rauf - whose son Rashid is being held in Pakistan over his alleged key role in [...]

The illogic coming out of the Democrat Spin Machine makes me think the Spin Machine has some major screws lose. Democrats keep using the UK Airline Terror Plot as an indication that Bush has made America less safe.
Seeking to counter White House efforts to turn the reported terrorist plot in Britain to Republican advantage, [...]

It seems one of those arrested in the UK Airline Terror Plot was Al Qaeda’s top man in the UK:
SECURITY sources believe that a man arrested in last week’s anti- terror raids in Britain is Al-Qaeda’s leader in this country.
Home Office officials say that one of those arrested is suspected not only of masterminding the [...]

Some articles today (H/T RCP) are showing how the Lamont debacle is going to impact the Democrats given the news of the massive airline terror plot that was stopped in the UK and the fact more terrorists are still out there. The first article is a clear headed discussion on the polarization of the [...]

I agree with the reader at Powerline that news reports regarding a recent letter from UK Muslim leaders to PM Blair and other UK leaders basically says “change your ME policies, or else”:
Dr Bari, secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain and one of the signatories, said: “As Muslims we condemn attacks on civilians [...]

The Seattle Post Intelligencer is reporting again that financial monitoring, of the exact same kind exposed by the NY Times recently in a fit of Bush Derangement Syndrome as a ‘legal’ and ’successful’ program, was key to exposing the plot details and the arrests.
Investigators on three continents worked to fill in the full, [...]

The open area of security I think we need to watch is all those people who work at the airports. We here in DC saw Dulles Airport infiltrated with illegal aliens who were working on construction at the airport. Apparently one of those arrested in the UK plot was a security guard at [...]

I know many UK and US administration officials have been noting that this group of people had been under surveillance for some time, but it is also clear the actual plans this group had only recently came to light. What is also clear is we could have missed this attack if they terrorists paid [...]
