London BOMB plot foiled -now THIS is a cause for rejoicing.,….!

Eight men arrested, half a ton of ammmonium nitrate seized (this chemical has been used in many terrorist bombings) and the BBC report on “intelligence suggestions a plot to bomb civilians may have been foiled.” Wait my slides are splitting with laughter! And no we didnt use a helicopter gunship to hunt these people down, and right now they are being questioned by police rather than being in several pieces.

Of course it could only be a typical British response to state that there is now a “mood of ‘restrained jubilation’ among security services who believed they had stopped a plot at an early stage.”

Well stuff the restraint- this calls for jubilation! The stuff they seized could have killed a lot of londoners- one of the suspects even worked at Gatwick Airport so I am told. What I like most about this is that we haven’t given these people the dignity of being considered soldiers and being shot at- they are holed up as common criminals having been arrested by the good old English Bobby. They will also have the chance to explain what they were doing with so much of this chemical, and given a fair trial if that is appropriate.

Maybe finally people will stop saying that the threat is not real, that it is hyped up by Bush and Blair. This was perhaps a close shave, and we must ALL be vigilant.
