They Think It Can't Happen Here Again!!!!

ABC News just reported that the British authorities say they have evidence that the London attacks last week were an operation planned by Al Qaeda for the last two years. This was an operation the Brits thought they caught and stopped in time, but they were wrong. The piece of the puzzle ABC missed is that this is an operation the Bush administration helped botch last year.

I.e., last year Bush botched the effort to thwart the London subway attacks.

1. The London bombers, per ABC, are connected to an Al Qaeda plot planned two years ago in Lahore, Pakistan.

2. Pakistani authorities recovered the laptop of a captured Al Qaeda leader, Mohammed Naeem Noor Khan, on July 13, 2004. On that laptop, they found plans for a coordinated series of attacks on the London subway. According to an expert interviewed by ABC, "there is absolutely no doubt that Khan was part of a worldwide Al Qaeda operation, not just in the United States but also in Great Britain and throughout the west."

Also important, but not reported by ABC this evening, after his arrest Khan started working for our side - sending emails to his other Al Qaeda buddies, working as our mole.

3. ABC reports that names in Khan's computer matched a suspected cell of Britain's of Pakistani decent, many of who lived near the town of Luton, England. According to ABC, authorities thought they had stopped the subway plot with the arrest of more than a dozen people last year associated with Khan. Obviously, they hadn't.

4. Those arrests were the arrests that the Bush administration botched by announcing a heightened security alert the week of the Democratic Convention. The alert was raised because of information found on Khan's computer (this is in the public record already, see below). In its effort to either prove that the alert was serious, or to try and scare people during the Dem Convention, the administration gave the press too much information about WHY they raised the alert. This put the media on the trail of Khan - they found him, and they published his name.

Because the US let the cat out of the bag, the media got a hold of Khan's name and published the fact that he had been captured - his Al Qaeda contacts thus found out their "buddy" was actually a mole, and they fled. Our sole source inside Al Qaeda was destroyed. As a result, the Brits had to have a high speed chase to catch some of Khan's Al Qaeda associates as they fled, and, according to press reports, the Brits and Pakistanis both fear that some slipped away.

Again, these were guys involved with the plot to blow up the London subway last week. Some may have escaped because of Bush administration negligence involving a leak.

I am neither GOP nor Dem....
I am neither liberal nor conservative....

....But, if this story is true, than that makes TWICE the number of times the Bush Administration (read ADMINISTRATION - not GW) let the cat out of the bag and ended up jeopardizing an agent in the field.....Carl Rove is not going to like this story coming out at this time.

Makes GW's team look pretty "loose" in how they handle info. But, I am sure past administrations had the same issues, but just covered them up better.....for all you Dems out there before you jump on the "I hate GW bandwagon" -- remember, JFK's administrtaion were no angels either. Neither was Nixon's (Watergate), Carter's, Ford's, Regan's, Bush Sr.'s, etc.

Every time they catch someone remotely important they blab it all over the news.

Its all about approval ratings.

Alright Mr. Rove-Spence, you've outted me.....nailed me right on the head......now I have to look over my shoulder every day for some militant, PLM-slinging conservative looking to take me out with an innuendo right in the head

Mmmmmmmm, beef short ribs ... mmmmmmmmm

Actually, bratwursts would be more pleasing to the eye in mass transit stations than a stirng of pork ribs. And they're usually pre-cooked, so even if they've turned green and have a few flies on 'em, you can just grab a snack and foil terrorists at the same time.

I disagree. this administration is the most secrative administration this country has ever seen. For instance, remember the big Energy summit at the whitehouse- top secret, closed doors- we will never know what went on in there. How many state of the union adresses have we had durring this administration??? not many.. These guys are sneaky to the core.

quote FWW "Put cooked bacon in every subway car, cargo ship, airport."

we could have a bunches of portable george forman grills going...

bacon everybody?

after nine/eleven there was this guy complaining about the american flag hanging outside a neighbors apartment building.
wasnt that a clue?.....that this >>guy<< was a "stupid bad guy"....
that really pissed me off that no one figured that out....right away.

i dont believe in LOCKING UP America for screwing up... mainly because the rest of the americans have to foot the bill....and because the people going in come out worse people than before they went in..in many cases. Yet others get the message and fly right afterwards. Morality has taken a nose dive
in that -crimes are being committed by children more and more and more.
i dont think throwing them in prison is the solution....and is (will be)Part of the problem.


perhaps it would be better to have all criminals made to clean up the environment / fix roads ect, for no wages...

the more severe the crime....the more remote the location....with infa red
scanners, dogs ,bracelets implanted rfid tags and choppers there's no getting away.

imo ...the media has become a terrorist organization in itself because of that insatiable thirst for exposing everything instantaniously before thinking of the consequences.... just to get freakin ratings.
