And if you answer NO, it's the bogeymen that terrify us, take a trip to Iraq or Lebanon and ask them (if you can find anyone alive).
Bush blames it all on Islam again.

Sounds to me like fake/staged terrorism again to stir up fear in the general population, and take away more of our basic freedoms. We're supposed to be thankful for this so-called threat to have been 'foiled' when there's yet again no proof of any actual threat having occured! 'intelligence' was received supposedly...what intelligence? Notice they never give details, I wonder why. I don't believe a word of it, it's a set-up, like all the other 'terror' plots.

If the police were watching these 21 people for months, and they aprehended them last night, why are the airports on alert now? Why weren't they on alert during the investigation? This is all smoke and mirrors to make us forget how angry we are about the war in Iraq!

Of course there are still lots of gullibles around (still at least this will stop them looking for WMD in Iraq !)
