What kind of housing do you suppose they are showing on Fox in High Wycombe? Were these people all loafing on welfare, too. You can tell that they have not assimilited to British culture, because British love flowers and shrubbery. Thee look like projects to me. No flowers, shrubs, or grass.

I thought this whole incident was being portrayed as a big win by the western intelligence communities.

That statement above makes it sound a bit more like an accidental discovery. That would be a whole lot scarier -- I wonder which is the case?

The unnamed imam added: "We'd like to remind people that the suspects are innocent until proven guilty."

Don't leave town, pal.

It could still happen. How do we know the plot was "TOTALLY" foiled?

How many of you remember the TERROR IN THE SKIES story that came out in a magazine (Women’s Journal) in July 2004 and recently made into a book? It was a huge topic of discussion on freerepublic at the time. It was a women’s well documented account about a group of Arab looking men on Northwest Airlines flight #327 that gave passenger and crew the fright of their life. Could that have been a dry run for this same type of terror plot?

Neal Boortz has a report/article that said an email was intercepted (after tracking chatter) by either UK or US Intelligence. Email said 'to act now'.

That is why the UK moved to make arrests yesterday. Officials interpreted the email to mean the terrorists had upped their date because they may have thought they had been found out.

(IIRC) The 9-11-01 attacks were supposedly moved up. OBL had originally planned for the attacks to take place a few weeks later.

Just Great. First, Elvis dies on my 13th birthday, then the worst aviation attack in history WOULD have happened on my 42nd. I'm cursed, I say!

NYT deeply saddened this plot came to light.

re: It acted under powers granted by the United Nations to tackle the financing of terrorism

Huh? I beg your pardon, I must have misunderstood you, it sounded like you said the UN has some sort of authority to grant powers to sovereign nations, which suggests they might also have the authority to deny those same powers. This is simply too much.

Yikes, my British cousin and his wife live in Chingford, home to one of these terrorists. My cuz is a retired Covent Garden Opera Company basso profundo.

Chingford is an extremely nice area just outside London. Of all the clips I've seen so far, none of these twisted animals were living in slums.

Poverty and slums create twisted animals, you know.

Terrorists are always innocent until proven guilty. It's US Marines that are convicted by our media and politicians before a trial is ever held.

This makes me nauseous.

A successful "Dry Run" can transform into an actual attack in about ten seconds.

The majority of the terrorists may have been duped into believing the attack date was the 16th. The tickets would have assured them that the 10th was not the day they would die.
So called "dry runs" have been used before to give some of the mush brained fodder a false since of security during that day's event....less sweating for example :)
A fake dry run can also be used to detect if the plan has been discovered, in which case, all of the information related to the discovery of and reaction to the plan is factored into the real target and target date.

I think :)
