There are doubts, apparently, about the terror raid last week. The one where police acting on a tip off raided a house and someone was shot. By whom, appears to be subject to some conjecture as well. :dry:
Now it seems that the whole shebang is doubtful – that there is no evidence of a bomb factory at all.
Counter-terrorism officials conceded yesterday that lethal chemical devices they feared had been stored at an east London house raided on Friday may never have existed.
Oh, dear, we’ve been here before, haven’t we? Recall the ricin plot last year? The one where there was no ricin, there was no plot and there was no terrorist cell. Yes, that ricin plot. A bit like the Al-Qa’ida operative last summer who was shot dead trying to escape capture by jumping the barriers of a tube station and running away from his pursuers while wearing a bulky coat. Except that; he wasn’t running away, he wasn’t wearing a bulky coat, he didn’t jump the barriers and there’s the little detail of him having nothing to do with terrorists, let alone Al-Qa’ida.
If it wasn’t so dangerous, the Keystone Cop nature of the “war on terr” would be laughable as these incompetents charge around our capital city raiding and shooting on flimsy evidence and, worse, far worse, trying to spin their way out of it when it all goes tits up. Mistakes happen. I can understand that. Some honesty in the wake of such mistakes would be refreshing.
It really is time Blair went.
Which one? Both.
Perhaps they should concentrate instead on the War on Error.

I didn’t. Where?
