The fact you are blind to the double standard >is massively entertaining. The only thing I've been discussing in this thread is about very speicfic mess preventions. The US is trying to deal with preventing these messes. In a few years, it will stop--that's how our political pendumlum is swinging. Those, who are planning to make these mesess, are waiting. /BAH

Nobody blinked about the delay of picking them > up. What delay ? You said the cops picked them up before they could do any damage. Sounds to me like the police were doing their job. In any case, you have got things mixed up. I suspect you mean the plan to bomb an aircraft with 'liquid explosives' ( joke ) where the plotters were indeed arrested before they could do anything and the current trial of those who did indeed try to bomb the undergound and failed.

That's not what he said and nor have I. The answer is to have good intelligence and arrest them before they can do any damage. Would you lock up every Muslim instead ? Graham
