Sounds like the British turned up a bunch of names in this investigation. Pakistan, Turkey...lots of arrests going down.
There could be more to come.
I'm betting Pakistani interrogators will not make the fringe-left democrats happy.
Musharraf, despite his many faults, is imperiling his life with these strong moves against the jihadis. I wish him well.
A lot of info has come from The NSA intercepts.What will the DemonRats have to say about this????????
Of course, what are the chances that the Democrats will keep saying that the War on Terror has done no good? After all, we haven't gotten Osama!
ok .. now I'm confused
The AP is also reporting there is no evidence of a threat
I sure wish the AP would make up their minds
No evidence of U.S.-based threat found

Roundups of plotters in Britain, Italy, and Pakistan, but not in the US, even though we are the number one target. That actually may be an ominous sign.
One can only hope that the courts, Specter, and the Dems don't soon end up with American blood on their hands.
When the ISI itself aids, abets and protects terrorists, this is the result. Musharraf is a back stabber. He is the faux good cop facing the West meanwhile the real fiends are still just as evil as ever. Not only are they still accomodating the terrorists, they are in bed with Beijing / the PLA, helping the PRC gain entree to the Indian Ocean.
"Pakistani intelligence agents have arrested as many as 17 people, some of them British nationals, in the plot to blow up jetliners flying from Britain to the U.S.
...... the country remains a fertile ground for Islamic militancy."
"British authorities arrested 24 people Thursday....Seems England is more fertile then Pakistan."
I need a scorecard.
fyi
ping
Yay, for Pakistan. Many thanks for their help...
Now the question is whether the Pakis will really put these guys away for a long time, and in isolation, or will it simply be like the Yemeni revolving prison door that has short sentences and "escapes" before many months have passed.....
Of course I'm advocating "persuasion" over "coercion." I'm not talking torture here. Oh no! I'm talking ice cream cones with extra scoops and jimmies on top. I'm talking extra TV privileges down at the jail--oops, I mean the dorm. Yes, the dorm. That's the ticket. We right proud of our humane treatment of our prisoners--oops, I mean our cooperating witnesses and we aims to please.
"[Pakistan] remains a fertile ground for Islamic militancy."
In comparing the number of arrests made, Britain is even worse.
Sounds like a huge plot to destroy thousands.
Most people seem to have forgotten that 9/11 was designed to kill many more (perhaps by a factor of 10 or 20) than what happened.
...ping to some news and speculation in the thread on Mushy and friends.
