I haven't commented on the British arrests of the 'terrorist plotters' mostly because if rude people break wind, the best thing to do is just ignore it. I haven't mentioned the convenient timing, the 'spontaneous' rise in anti-terror/anti-Lamont (and aren't they truly the same thing, these days?) for the Repug windmachine and Cheney (and aren't they truly the same thing, these days?)
The whole thing reminded me of the Miami case of seriously dangerous Chicago bombers. Over-reaction over-hyped as hyper-vigilance. But I didn't have any real grasp of the science behind the 'planned' bombs, other than the vague knowledge that Ramzi Youssef was planning to use the same things to blow up planes in the Pacific back in the 90's.
Kevin, at Washingtonmonthly, has a good post on the science today. It really puts everything in perspective. We really didn't have much to worry about from these guys.
