All -

I applaud today's announcement that a terrorist plot to blow up ten airplanes in mid-flight has been foiled, and the ringleaders jailed. This happened because of a joint Pakistani-British investigation.

This is a good example of how treating terrorism as a law enforcement problem can be effective. Interestingly, the recent announcements of successes against plotters in the U.S. are also law enforcement victories.

Now what U.S. leader spoke of terrorism as a law enforcement issue and was mocked for doing so? Oh yeah, the guy this thread is named for.

It might be unfortunate but political back scratching with special interests actually isn't unusual. Its hardly limited to oil, in fact the most clear cases have nothing to do with oil.

If there was "scratching one another's backs" here, that's a long way from collaboration in a massive price fixing scheme. No one here has even presented evidence that there is such a scheme in the oil industry, let alone that Bush was involved in such a scheme.
