Does anyone think this recent terrorist plot allegation sounds suspicious?

im not sure they seem to be skimping on detail and instead of telling us the reason it keeps reitterating the point about the terror alert being up to critical. it just looks like they are "drilling for fear", or trying to justify british involvement in Iraq.

    There probably was something, and they are all milking it like crazy to get the most out of it. How advanced and dangerous the plans were, I dunno. But it sounded like the police knew about these and were keeping an eye on them.

    So it's real, and it's out of proportion. I think both is correct.

    Oh, please. Does everything have to be a conspiracy by the US govt.? Isn't this a UK operation? In addition, they just caught these guys yesterday. I'm going to go out on a limb and say we're still pretty early in the story to be pointing out that we don't have all of the facts.

    Could you back that up by telling us what other terror plots have been stopped around 9/11. I honestly don't know of any, but if you do I would like to know which ones. Thanks.

    yea but i think why the heck should a goverment cook up such story.i mean like this now...and why should pakistan be involved if this is a lie ...that´s why i think it´´s true
  • Saw something funny today on the news...on CBC this morning they had a lead investigator who did the work from Pakistan and he himslef is from Pakistan...he was getting praises from the journalist...then asked about relations to Al Queda he said there is no connection what so ever...just a group of nuts trying to blow up planes...what made me laugh is when they asked this he went on a tanget discussing Al Queda as being American made (you CIA trained to fight the Russians which we know as fact)...and the journalist just cut him and left him hanging....that really bugs me....hell the guy stopped this alleged attack yet they pull the plug on him when he begins discussion of Al Queda....made me laugh because I always tried to defend Canadian media jsut realized they are useless as well and trying iterate one side of the story....

    Funny going from praises to off the air as soon as he goes on about a truth.....disappointed in my country's media.....and it made laugh....

    What I mean is, let's see what happens, if they're charged and their cases go before the Crown Prosecution Service for trial. If things don't get that far, and these suspects are released, then there will be plenty of opportunity for good questions as to the extent of recent events, as a real terror threat. I'm taking the authorities at their word about a real threat, unless evidence to the contrary actually comes to light.

    Let's not forget that the US government (especially that Dubya) was behind the following:

    Mel Gibson's tirade, Hitler's rise to power, the Bolshevik Revolution, Mao's Cultural Revolution, the Crusades, Genghis Khan's campaigns, the fall of the Roman Empire, the Peloponnesian and Punic Wars, the French Revolution, Cain and Abel, Jesus' Crucifixion, your parents' divorce, your lack of self-esteem, your alcoholism and depression, and last but not least, the New Kids on the Block...

    People get a grip already, when is everyone going to realize that these Muslim extremists want nothing more than to die while taking you (an infidel) with them (for the greater glory of Allah of course...)

    Yeah, it's profoundly sad when a truth like that is supressed. But I think most people know that as a fact, by now. You'd have to be living in a cave (pardon the pun), to not know the USA Military/Government created, trained, supported and supplied AQ.

    quite the opposite, they love freedom, the freedom they'll have in paradise due to their martyrdom against the infidels...
