So, once again, it seems that Germany was used as a safe haven by KNOWN "violent extremists" to prepare a terrorist act. Of course, none of these people will have "known" what they were planning, so, if ever tried in Germany, they will be charged with some misdemeanor or let free. BTW - isn't it wonderful to see that Germany has tightened it's internal security so much?

I really think that if the bombing was actually planned in Germany, it will be the straw that broke the camel's back.

"Spiegel" is pretty careful with their wording, which is why I emphasized the differences in 'preparing' and 'planning' in the posts above. It seems to me that "Spiegel" and the rest of the German press is really going to go after the planning issue.

I just don't think the German populace is going to repeatedly put up with the rap that bombings were planned in their country. 911, now maybe 311, planned on their watch?

I just don't think they'll put up with it.

That thought struck me too. hain, AGermany seems to be a launching pad. I'm surprised other than Richard Reid we haven't had more problems from British Islamics. Reading the papers they seem to be very militant in England.
