Re: ""You have free elections in Iraq, and the head of the parliament calls us butchers. You have free elections in Palestine, and Hamas wins. You have elections in Lebanon, and Hezbollah wins 10, 12 seats in the parliament and two cabinet seats. Free elections are no guarantee of democracy." I think he's got that wrong. Free elections ARE 'Democracy'... but there's no guarantee you are going to like the guys who win. :-)

— The plan called for the flights to blown up in flight near simultaneously, close enough so that flight controllers would not be able to ground planes, and far enough out in the Atlantic so that pilots would have no place to land. — The plan was to have the attacks carried out near the 9-11anniversary, but apparently no specific date had been set for the attacks. — The attacks were planned for "up to 10 flights" on four airlines: Continental, United, American, and British Airways. — The loss of life was planned to be "comparable to the death toll of 9/11,” meaning close to 3,000 dead. — The attack was planned as a suicide mission. — The official said that there is "very good reason to believe that this is al-Qaida.” —Robert Windrem, NBC News Investigative Producer msnbc.msn.com

Some quotes from democraticunderground.com, a liberal website: - The UK government mostly lie about these things. - political ploy - It seems like this has been planned to coincide with the new terror alert system that came into effect on 1st August. - can you IMAGINE how they are treating every passenger who isn't lily white? what a horror. - I've pretty much laughed off most of the terra!terra! crap - I'd like to think that this is just another fizzy Pepsi can in the NY subways, but they still are calling this a "critical" threat...
