Jump To Comment: 1 2 3this is another example of the right wing paper printing more crap,. One just has to read it to see it is anti socialist and anti republican. But i suppose the old farts who ruin this country still need there paper to read.
that that anti-arab, right wing and pro-zionist crap can inhabit the front page shows that paper has gone another step worse.
The so called terror plot last week that occupied most of the media from mid week onwards to the weekend appears to be totally bogus. It harks back to the so called "ricin terror plot" in 2003 when we had 2 or 3 days of saturation news designed to hype up the fear. Of course the media forgot to tell us that all those arrested for that were never charged and no ricin was found. It was just harmless pepper.
Likewise with the latest terror plot. There has been no actual evidence produced. Apparently most of those arrested didn't even had a passport which for Muslims in the UK would certainly take months to acquire. All the reports are hersay and from "security sources".
Indeed the biggest piece of "evidence" presented was from a man arrested in Pakistani by the police and we should remember Pakistan is a dictatorship despite whatever gloss Bush and Blair like to give it. Police interrogation methods are not pretty there and you can be sure that under intense questioning and pressumably after several beatings and other torture this man like anyone else in that situation will say anything to get out of the situation he was in. Nope, this story last week was full of full faced lies and inneundo.
What we do know is that it comes at a time when the popularity of the Bush and Blair are very low. The Iraq war is going badly and the latest venture in Lebanon by Israel but most definitely given the nod by the USA as documented by Seymour Hersh shows that the practice run for Iran wasn't going to go well in the polls either. (See http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article14540.htm ) It was time to get out the old 9/11 photos, hype the fear and make some very implicit gestures that opposing the war is the equivalent of supporting terrorism. This whole episode is truly frightening and is more about trying to justify ever more draconian police state measures. We should be all very worried.
