Malak Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I know this is not a question, but Hats off to the Brits on catching those a**holes. Hope they get the rest of those youknowwhats... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaseyJ Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I second That!!! Make an example of them!! If you continue to just put them in jail they will continue this crap but if you make them die for their cause the way they did not want to die then they might rethink this. Or we could just drop lots of pigs in their country and make sure they make a mess!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary to think that "we" are hated to the extent that people will sacrifice themselves to kill us without any specific as to whom or where.... Just because we do not share the same beliefs.

zhunter Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I just took one of "those" flights home from London last week, and heading back again in two weeks. Looks like the security lines might take a while!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Too bad because of the Political Correctness rampant in today's society, we cannot say EXACTLY who is at war with the world. Too bad the people that have a direct connection to the majority of the terrorist's religion, are not falling all over themselves to turn these people in. And too bad that the Brits can use methods that some people in our Congress would be opposed.. Those saved their butts too . Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyFL Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 They released a list of names today of people they are still looking for that are connected to the planned attack. Funny......not one Mike Smith or Joe Johnson among them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 The Brits did a great job on this, and it appears the Pakistanis contributed immensely. Good job to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bountyhunter Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 They obviously know what they are doing. Reports said they had a spy inside the terrorists group and were onto them for months. They had to jump on them yesterday because the main heads in Pakistan were about to "go dark" and disappear into the badlands of the mountains of pakistan.... where they would get lost like Bin laden has successfully done for five years. Well done to the Brits, I wish they would come over here and give a class to our guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 According to current reports, the US told the UK that the terror mission was a 'Go' due to communications intercept by USA. That's why UK moved in when they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgary Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I have a ... um... friend, who ... um... has a relationship with someone who does translating for a ... um... three-letter US agency, and I've learned to pay a lot of attention to when this person decides to cancel a trip for no apparent reason. Last week this friend canceled or rescheduled all his upcoming trips to/from the UK ... almost a week before this hit the news. So, yeah, if I'm connecting dots correctly, the US gov't was involved and aware for a while, and was actively intercepting... um... timely info.

bgary Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 yeah, so... you mean like that whole hoopla a couple of months ago, about how "wrong" it is to pay attention to cell-phone calls to known terrorist contacts, and track financial dealings of those same contacts... ... that being *exactly* the kind of info that put the Brits onto the trail? Can imagine it now. "Yes, thousands of people died today, but at least we kept the government from violating any terrorists' right to privacy..."

mike_pinto Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 There are a few of the members here that are law enforcement in the UK. I will make sure I thank them personally next time we shoot together. Great Job Guys!!! As I sit here in Japan, I wonder if the Japanese government works as close with us as the US/UK on these issues? I better get to the airport now to catch my September 28th flight!!

PhilTerry Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Before we started condeming them all - one of those taken into custody has already been released by the British police... watch this space.

Go back and read BGary's posts... I am not brainwashed by anyone or anything, and I resent the implication to the contrary. If you want to throw insults at people you have never met then kindly do so on another forum. This web-site strives for politeness, which is the main reason I come here.

bountyhunter Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 (edited) Before we started condeming them all - one of those taken into custody has already been released by the British police... watch this space. It has been confirmed that the US forced the Brits to move in before they wanted to. The Brits wanted to wait until the suspects had actually made overt acts such as obtaining and preparing chemicals. They now have a problem to prosecute many of the suspects, because it's all conspiracy and that is harder to prove than catching them in the act. I have no doubt most of them are guilty, it remains to be seen if they can be successfully prosecuted.
