Islam is not only the ROP, but apparently the religion of trust.

Why are you posting a March 25, 2004 article? BTW, always be careful of articles out of those types of puzzle palaces.

Maybe he's a "triple agent" who really works for Karl Rove?

I suspect there would be a lot of mistakes if anybody could tell the whole story of double agent recruitment.

He disappeared from his family home in West London ... Indignant French officials accused MI5 of helping the cleric to abscond. ... Almost a year later Abu Qatada was found hiding in a flat not far from Scotland Yard.

The real story behind this is dynamite.

Ummmm....Kim Philby? Guy Burgess? Anthony Blunt?

Seems like there's a long tradition of this. They're more like Get Smart than like James Bond.

Because his case has come up again, and the allegations about Brits allowing "their" militants to go to Iraq, most especially Basra.

BTW, always be careful of articles out of those types of puzzle palaces.

Go on! Its the London Times.

This is from the 2004 article, and I had an update, but when I tried to recover it, could not - shall try again.

Abu Dahdah and Abu Qatada - Sounds like a song from The Lion King.

There is. And if you remember, the Brits were warned, not once, but about 10 thousand times, that the "Cambridge set" were Soviet agents. One of them was driven out of the US - exactly like these Al-qaida militants were out of France - but they went back to London all cozy. And then they were allowed to escape.

It is being said that this guy will eventually be sent away quietly overseas. It is not good enough.

I made an error, when posting this and another article. I put this in Frontpage, whereas it should be an ordinary listing. And I put the other "Terror suspects violating control orders [Britain]" in ordinary news, whereas it could be listed Frontpage.

Is it possible to change this?

Why not? Its a good article. I never heard this stuff, neither have others.


"BTW, always be careful of articles out of those types of puzzle palaces."

The Times? Is that a joke?
