> we'll find bullsh1t like bin Laden .....threatening major terrorist attacks on the US

And how very embarrassing for the British that their agents provocateurs were discovered in flagrante delicto.

>>"Two persons wearing Arab uniforms opened fire at a police station in Basra. A police patrol followed the attackers and captured them to discover they were two British soldiers," an Interior Ministry source told Xinhua.

The two soldiers were using a civilian car packed with explosives, the source said.<<

>>Reuters reported that "half a dozen armored vehicles had smashed into the jail" and the provincial governor, Mohammed Walli, told news agencies that the British assault was "barbaric, savage and irresponsible."

So, why were the British so afraid to go through the normal channels to get their men released? Could it be that the two commandos were "trying to plant explosives" as the article suggests?

An interview on Syrian TV last night also alleges that the British commandos "were planting explosives in one of the Basra streets".

"Al-Munajjid] In fact, Nidal, this incident gave answers to questions and suspicions that were lacking evidence about the participation of the occupation in some armed operations in Iraq. Many analysts and observers here had suspicions that the occupation was involved in some armed operations against civilians and places of worship and in the killing of scientists. But those were only suspicions that lacked proof. The proof came today through the arrest of the two British soldiers while they were planting explosives in one of the Basra streets. This proves, according to observers, that the occupation is not far from many operations that seek to sow sedition and maintain disorder, as this would give the occupation the justification to stay in Iraq for a longer period.

Re: It's actually amazing watching this administration destroy the US.

Perhaps the Bush administration isn't so much bent on destroying the US as it is --unwittingly-- tearing the mask off America's real, ugly, features.... Remember that G.W. Bush was RE-elected back in November 2004. If, as you posit, Americans as a whole were basically a peaceful, humanitarian, people, they'd have given Bush the sack and elected Kerry.

Re: And the more they lie and wriggle the deeper into the quicksand they slide. It's even more incredible than a movie and yet the history of the world is being written before one's very eyes.

Again, the "movie" was actually the Disneyesque picture of the US as a basically liberal, peace-loving, multicultural, paradise --a San Fransisco writ large, from coast to coast.... But that was Potemkin America. As the sham falls apart, the world discovers the real thing.
