#1 Nay, it's not AQ. It's a cell of evil white rafters.

#2 Pure hysterical speculation that the Brazilian is not affiliated with the terrorists living in the same building. The weather that day was warm even for a Brazilian - no need to wear a quilted jacket, by jove. Also, as an electrician working in London he had a very high level of understanding English. Stop means stop. Get down means get down. Don't run or resist means exactly that. Jumping turnstiles and running down escalators doesn't mean you are hurrying for a train since you can't tell if it is waiting in station or not from upstairs. It will turn out to not be as big a mistake as it now appears, Watson.

#3 One word: internment. Round up all the asshats and stick them on the Isle of Man - as we did in WW2. I bet if, for whatever reason, we had conscription in this country the Pakistanis would be back to their homeland as quick as...

#5 OK - I think there's a Scottish island still rendered uninhabitable by 1950's experiments with anthrax. Would be much more suitable...

#6 What about the South Sandwich Islands, Howard? They should not be able to do much mischief there.

#7 This from the BBC: The Brazilian man shot dead by police in south London, who mistook him for a suicide bomber, had been in Britain on an out-of-date visa, officials say. Jean Charles de Menezes, 27, may have run from police because of his visa situation, BBC correspondents say. The electrician had come to the UK on a student visa, which allows people to work for a small number of hours.

#10 AP - South Sandwich Isles - nearly all precipitation falls as snow. That'd be a change from Pakistan!

#11 "The electrician had come to the UK on a student visa, which allows people to work for a small number of hours."

Why call him an "electrician"? he was an illegal alien. Lots of foreigners come to London under the pretense of studying English (with a 12 months student visa) and then choose to stay & work illegally in the country. These are the type of people who rent a room in a shared house.
