#1 I do hope the Brits get a clue, but I can see the electorate follow the lead of the media and blaming Bush's cowboy unilateralism for inciting these 3 animals to kill their fellow British subjects.

The fact that the BBC won't call them terrorists is not encouraging. Are they 'insurgents' against the crown?

I'd be interested to hear what the Rantburg UK contingent has to say now that we know names and circumstances of these scumbags.

#3 The most important thing, dear Brits, is not to let terrorism stop the peace process.

#5 Just a vague troubling thought...

What are the odds that these four would have been able to set off their packages within as short a period as they evidently did?

Could they have been unaware that they were carrying timers? Use of unwitting bombers has already been demonstrated in Iraq.

Not making excuses, mind you, just wondering out loud.

I hope the Brits get to the bottom of it asap.

I'm sure they were aware they were carrying bombs.

#8 Were you among the ones allowed to go back, Jan? I live here in Colorado Springs. We can see the smoke, sometimes - not as bad as the Hayman fire, but it's there.

US Domestic terrorists - "environmentalists" that want to lock up as much forest land as possible to keep "developers" out. Stupid slugs.

#9 Sorry to those for getting off track here a bit.
OP, I was referring to the fires of a few years ago not this current one. We are SW of Denver approx. 50 miles. (The gas prices for our commute are killing us.) Yes, it would be good to have a nice balance for forest control. Folks need to take care of their own property too, we cut down 12 trees that had died and cleared out alot of brush to help reduce the fire threat.

Are you going to the service for Danny Dietz the SEAL that died in Afghanistan tomorrow? It's at Ft. Logan.

#12 Hey Jan - I live up by Monument - I'm a volunteer firefighter. We've been on standby to go fight the Mason fire since Friday. I'm afraid we wont get to go seeing how late it is.
