Andrew Sullivan Blogs: The Alleged UK Terror Plot

[longship]

The non-urgency of the recently exposed plot is coming to light, if there ever was a plot at all.

This needs some better MSM exposure.

So far, no one has been charged in the alleged terror plot to blow up several airplanes across the Atlantic. No evidence has been produced supporting the contention that such a plot was indeed imminent. Forgive me if my skepticism just ratcheted up a little notch. Under a law that the Tories helped weaken, the suspects can be held without charges for up to 28 days. Those days are ticking by. Remember: the British authorities had all these people under surveillance; they did not want to act last week; there was no imminent threat of anything but a possible "dummy-run," whatever deranged guest-bloggers at Malkin say. (Correction, please.) Bush and Blair discussed whether to throw Britain's airports into chaos over the weekend before the crackdown occurred.

1. Can't give Sullivan a click.

But he is right about this one. The fish smell is emanating from scotland yard again.

2. I thnk he's onto something.

3. It frightens me...

...when Sullivan seems to be more consistently on target than "democratic" senators like Lieberman...

4. It's really got to stink when an asswipe like Sullivan expresses

doubts.

5. Sullivan is the only blog I read regularily, he's been right more often

lately than anyone else. yes, including dems.

he hates Bush, Rummy and Cheney with a passion but even more, he hates Christianists (as he calls them.)

Bury the hatchet. If you can't at least listen to someone who is right 90% of the time, you are not worth much to those of us who think we can forge a majority by wedging off a few of those who previously voted GOP.

That's how Rove did it. It's worth a try.
