#1 It's a start - a good start. Now - start bugging mosques - that is where the real terror is being bred. There is nothing sacriligious about it - no true place of worship should have anything to fear.

#2 Excellent. I'm glad they've got the goods. They do have a tendency to string it to the last minute. Americans tend to jump too soon and never sustain convictions.

#5 Lone Ranger, it's the college Islamic societies that need bugging. Most of the moques are controlled by the older generation who aren't interested in fighting the jihad.

#6 Americans tend to jump too soon and never sustain convictions.

There was an article in the local fishwrap about that point this morning. Here's the NYT original. It contained a little nugget that I hadn't heard before:

British security officials have publicly acknowledged that two of the [7/7] London bombers Mohammed Siddique Khan and Shehzad Tanweer had been observed in connection with a different terrorist plot that was subject to heavy surveillance. But when they dropped out of sight well before the London bombings intelligence agencies did not pursue them because the other conspiracy seemed a much greater priority.

#7 Most of the moques are controlled by the older generation who aren't interested in fighting the jihad.

They'll retire long before this war is over. A dollar to a dog turd says they'll be replaced by someone trained via extremist groups from Iran or Pakistan.

#8 If we're not going to deport all known muslims, and if we aren't going to outlaw the religion, then we damned sure better know what their up to at all times!

Of course this will never happen in the US.

My hats off to the British intelligence agences.

#9 I can't believe the British did all that surveillance just to keep Lieberman from losing his senate seat.

#10 Sorry, don't think we do "sneak and Peek" in these parts

#11 The trend seems to be the younger, Saudi-linked radicals forcing out the older, reasonable Muslims out of positions of control, and then out of the congregations altogether, Apostate. There have been scattered stories to that effect from the US, Canada and England that I've seen in the last year or two.
