#3 Detectives are confident they can find an al-Qaeda link to the British bombers who killed 54 people in western Europe's first suicide attack, London Police Commissioner Ian Blair said on Friday.

Why are these guys talking at this obviously early stage? Gather and compile the evidence, establish the facts, then make reports/file charges/make arrests. Then, and only then, outline the details and objectives. For now, they should just can the speculation and commentary. If news outlets don't like it, tough.

#4 Thought that an explosion in such a confined space might pose a 2nd hand smoke type health risk to other commuters.

#5 Tony Blair has made rapid progress:
"The crucial issue now is can we engage with the community in Britain so that they move from being fairly close to denial about this into a situation in which they really engage with us?
We need them to tell us who the preachers of hate really are, who are the recruiters of the vulnerable, what changes of pattern occurred in people's behaviour."

Moslems in the West have a choice: explicitly give up taqiya, jihad and sharia -- and denounce the jihadists in your midst. Anyone who doesn't is an accomplice to Islamofascist terrorism.

Deporting such beasts won't do any good. They must be arrested, tried for treason, and executed.

#6 I noticed that too, Kalle. Good for Tony... now Bush must start making the same noises, explicitly challenging CAIR, et al to start turning people in. We have been informed by Al Qaeda and its fellows that we are Dar ul Harb (spelling?), it is up to the Muslims in our midst to demonstrate -- not merely declare -- which side of the war they count themselves on, and we will treat them accordingly.

This goes nicely with that worldwide survey which found that the Muslim world in general is less certain that jihad against the West is a good idea. Now is the time to ram that concept home.
