#1 I'm shocked and amazed! I would have almost bet the farm that Wiccans were behind this evil plot.

#5 More than 20 suspected terrorists were arrested in England by early Thursday morning, in an operation that involved British intelligence, Scotland Yard and assistance by a number of other law enforcement and intelligence agencies, including those in Pakistan.

ABC News has learned that two "significant arrests" in Pakistan in recent days may have significantly accelerated the pace of the investigation. Many of the alleged terror plotters appeared to be of Pakistani descent. It appears that they were probably "homegrown" terrorists with strong links to al Qaeda and Pakistani operatives. This new generation of terrorists have figured significantly in plots in the U.S., London and Canada in recent months.

#7 If they can track back to a Mosque or two they should arrest some Imams (and possibly level a few Mosques).

The Western World should have passed laws forbidding the building or expansion of any Mosques for the duration of hostilities.

#10 That's not possible. Bush says Pakistan is an ally in the WoT. Even the very reliable, non-partisan Al Jazeera says so.

#11 As I keep trying to point out, diplomacy is the art of saying "nice doggie" while looking for a rock.

It doesn't actually mean that the doggie is nice, or that the person saying such thinks the doggie is nice.

I also don't think it excuses those who keep saying "Eh? I guess we don't need a rock then..."
