"More than a week after the US and UK announcements that an alleged terror plot to blow up commercial airliners flying from Britain to the US had been foiled, the official claims are unraveling. Authorities have been unable to provide any concrete evidence to back up the story that police raids and mass arrests in Britain thwarted an imminent attack that would have taken the lives of thousands of transatlantic travelers."
"It is becoming increasingly evident that the government-media hysteria about the alleged plot was prompted not by security concerns, but rather by a politically motivated desire to divert attention from the growing crisis of both the Bush and Blair governments. Under conditions of a deepening military and political debacle in Iraq, growing domestic opposition to the war, a deteriorating military situation in Afghanistan, and the unfavorable outcome for the US and Britain in Lebanon, the eruption of the latest alleged terror plot has served to “change the subject,” while fostering an atmosphere of fear and panic that both governments hope will disorient the public and facilitate new attacks on democratic rights."

Another attack "thwarted"...
Hypothedically, Why would a real terrorist even need to board a plane and blow people up on it with a complex liquid bomb. They could get just as many very easliy by attacking the long crowded airport lines and still shut down the airport and they could use a conventional bomb.

I always thought the same sort of thing after the WTC thing. I thought that if these 'terrorists' are for real then they would choose the places where people actually do congregate regularly, like shopping malls. Why when there is a high terror alert are we never warned to stop shopping? Gee I wonder if that is because shopping is the only thing they (meaning the real terrorists the neo-cons) want us to do?Ry wrote:Hypothedically, Why would a real terrorist even need to board a plane and blow people up on it with a complex liquid bomb.
