Giggle, Snicker, Chortle, Titter

Hah, hah. Those silly, cowardly Brits, raising their terrorist threat level to critical, just to distract from.... uhhh, I don't know, what's on tap right now? The subpoenas to Cheney regarding the wiretap program?

That must be it -- the car-bombers are working with Cheney to distract from the inquiry into the wiretap program designed to eavesdrop on people just like themselves.

I Question The Timing.

Incidentally, notice how the "I Question The Timing" of the arrests claims don't fly as quickly when a terrorist attack is actually mounted by jihadis who probably are on the British government's watch list and were not arrested previously due to lack of evidence and limited resources.

Update: Allah says (near end of post) one of the jihadis died due to extensive burns.

Awwww.

Now, actually, that is something worth a deep laugh about.

(Except that we can't interrogate the shit out of him, of course.)

Question:

Assuming the other jihadi suffered some amount of burns -- one of the most painful wounds a human being can endure, at least once those nerve-endings start growing back -- would it be barbaric to, let us say, go a little light on his painkilling medication until he starts talking?

I mean -- the Brits didn't cause his burns, did they? They wouldn't be inflicting pain; they would just be withholding pain-reducing medication for a killer's self-inflicted wounds.

(And he is a killer now -- felony murder rule. His actions resulted in the death of a confederate.)

Update: Scottish police officer says that the burned terrorist isn't dead yet, but in critical condition, suffering from "severe burns."

A "suspect device" was found on him. The hospital was partly evacuated after the discovery of this unspecified device.

Via Allah, noting the Blotter's scoop that the US had chatter about an attack on Glasgow airports several weeks ago.

The information was "kept secret for operational reasons," which I presume means "kept secret" from the public and not Scotland or Britain.

The Czech Republic's on the warning list, too.

"Suspect Device:" ... was a "belt or some type of vest," a possible suicide explosives belt. Not sure if that's what it was, but that's what it was feared it was. It's being "analyzed."

This is from David Schuster. He states it as a fact, not speculation, but does not source it. Allah points out he's dodgy. Indeed, he makes shit up all the time. So I'm treating this as Schuster bullshit and speculation. Probably right, but just a guess, which as usual this very careful reporter passes off as confirmed fact.

Allah Writes... CNN says there's a dead body in the car, which neatly explains it's previous report (thought erroneous) a dead jihadi, as well as the frequent mentions of three men, rather than the two we know about.
