Will the real terrorist please stand up.


I have a very funny feeling about this thwarted terror attack. I mean I can't just for the life of me wonder if its all what its cracked up to be. I mean we now know that the Bushies already knew about it earlier on and also I realized something. They have been talking about liquid bombs since earlier this year. So this news is not new check out this excerpt: British police said Thursday they thwarted a terrorist plot, possibly just days away, to blow up U.S.-bound jetliners over the Atlantic and kill thousands. Chilling accounts leaked by investigators described a plan on the scale of Sept. 11 that would use liquid explosives concealed as everyday carry-on items and common electronic devices to bring down 10 planes in a nearly simultaneous strike. The bombs were to be assembled on the aircraft apparently using a liquid explosive - most likely peroxide - and detonated by such devices as a disposable camera or a music player, two US officials said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because Britain asked that no information be released.

Here are my questions
Why would "British police" be handling this?
"Possibly just days away" tells us they didn't find any actual airplane tickets.
"Chilling accounts" described "a plan" for downing ten planes.
Is this any more substantial than the homeless Miami seven?
It gets Lamont off the front pages and moves attention away from Iraq.
How long have they been sitting on this "could be just days away" topic changer?
