More Politics
If Bush's screw-ups resulted in some learn'in, you'd think it was just ignorance. But when they continue to do the same crap over and over and over again, you know it's not incompetence but mendacity.

Here's some update information on the timing of the arrests of the suspected terraists in Britain. First off, the British had been investigating these guys for some time. It doesn't look to me like the plan hadn't gotten very far:
MSNBC is reporting this was an active dispute and that the British wanted the investigation to proceed because some of the suspects did not have passports, airline tickets weren't purchased, and the British wanted one suspect who wanted to do a "dry run" to buy a ticket.
After a year, they didn't have passports? You really have to wonder if this isn't a group of nutbars playing international terrorist while actually spending more time drinking and waxing willy. But I digress .... again.

The emerging picture is that the British investigation was sabotaged for purely political purposes by the Americans:
So left to draw our own picture, we start with Bushco pressure on Britain to make the arrests before August 9. Bushco hits resistance, so, it appears, they pressure Pakistan to arrest Rashid Rauf [in Pakistan] over British objections. Bushco wins out and the UK has no choice but to follow through with the UK arrests to prevent the plotters from carrying out any of their plans [and scattering like cats], in spite of the fact that the plotters had yet to obtain passports, purchase airline tickets, or do a dry run.
The U.S. administration is nothing short of criminal. There is no President in history who more deserved impeachment and removal for high crimes and misdeamenors. The fact it isn't going to happen is an indictment on the Constitutions ability to provide effective guidance on the issue of criminal executives.

I caught this story while on vacation and my first thought was, "You can tell the Republicans are behind in the polls."
