| More terror suspects in Britain |
| 2007-05-03 |
| The number of terror suspects being monitored by Britain’s domestic security agency, MI5, has risen by 25 percent in the last six months, BBC online reported on Wednesday. The approximately 2,000 people now being watched are thought to be actively involved in supporting Al Qaeda, the broadcaster reported, and experts highlighted links which some have to terrorist training camps in Pakistan. “I think this is the strongest connection that we are confronted with at the moment, not least because of the historical connections between Pakistan and Britain,” Peter Neumann, from King’s College London’s defence studies centre, told the broadcaster. “This will likely be the greatest source of vulnerability at least for Britain.” |

| #4 Woozle Elmeter2970 dear, the day the US goes after the Saudis -- absent such significant increases in petroleum production as to at least significantly offset the Saudi share of the market -- is the day the entire oil-using world falls off the cliff into a deep depression of 1930s proportions. At this point Canadian and Iraqi production are increasing steadily, but this is offset by significant decreases in Venezuela and Iran, and also a number of the smaller producers as those countries are hit by (generally speaking) Muslim terrorists. At the same time, consumption has gone up due to the increasing prosperity of China and India. Finally, while Saudi Arabia is only America's fourth or fifth biggest supplier, I believe it's the primary supplier of Europe and Asia. Now if you want to seriously annoy our allies and enemies by deep sixing their economies just as we're asking them to join us against Iran, well! But I'm awfully glad this President Bush knows how to organize this long war, even if he can't/won't sell it to the American people and the world. Oh, and the Saudis consider Bush fil to be a bad son, because he isn't their dear friend the way his father was. |

| #2 Once we get past Bush/Cheney, we can make progress. The entire Bush outfit has been kissing up to Sauds & taking their payoffs their entire lives. Any attacks should have been made in taking over the Arabian peninsula. Just ring up Putin, tell him we're doing it and does he have any objections ? We thought not. |
