The great airline bomb plot was a totally impractical idea in the minds of a very small number (four) of isolated extremists, penetrated from the start by the state, who never did make their liquid bomb cocktail work, never did blow anything up, never did buy plane tickets and for the most part hadn’t actually got round to applying for passports yet. However, these deluded fantasists provided the excuse for billions of taxpayers’ money to be pumped to the security industry, and made air travel even more annoying with the crazy war on shampoo.
They also proved an invaluable bogeyman of last resort for bent Met cops, who could not chase real harmful monsters like Rupert Murdoch because they were too busy colluding with Murdoch in pumping out propaganda about the fantasy monsters – sorry, saving us all from terrorists.
An invaluable analysis on the bent cops from Nick Davies here – although even he feels he has to genuflect to “the terrorist threat”.
Aren’t members of parliament amazing? Suddenly they all have noticed that the Murdoch influence is a cancer in society, which is something the rest of us have known for 30 years. Equally suddenly they have noticed that Andy Hayman is a lying buffoon, whereas before they took him as a great bastion against terrorism whose every word must be treated with respect. This blog and other blogs have been telling them he was a lying buffoon for years, most indisputably over the appalling lies he spread in the media about Jean Charles De Menezes.
Good work on Hayman here. I had missed the fact that Murdoch employed him after he left the cops.

Roderick,
It seems to me that the MI5 / MI6 intelligence agencies like to foster a touch of corruption in journalists, police, and politicians since they can then be blackmailed and controlled; so what agenda do these secret agencies really have in pushing this horrible story today??
To get hold of BSkyB and stuff it with their master’s nominee shareholders.
Scouse Billy and Johnm,

Thanks both. (I seem to have missed out on this thread recently.)
I haven’t read half as much about 7/7 as I have about 9/11, most likely because I got involved in arguments on the 9/11 thread here, way back. 7/7 something I need to read/view more about.
Dreoilin,
Personally I recommend the video, 7/7 Seeds of Deconstruction as as the most thorough analysis available to the public:

Will do!

My father worked as an explosive expert for the MOD. A number of sources said the explosives used were military type high grade explosive not peroxide based home explosives made by amateurs. Also the number of ‘controlled explosions’ carried out would have prevented investigation and forensic analysis at the sites while also masking and confusing the precise locations.
‘Was Aaronovitch there? He was on the Boulton programme on Sky at 1pm talking about the need for ethics in the press.’
Yes Mary, he was, coming out with the same stuff on ethics as he did on Sky, and also the rough draft of the article he had in the Times yesterday. Seeing him sat next to Paul Staines was an odd experience; there’s quite a resemblance, which goes beyond their both have considerable expense account paunches. Staines could actually have passed for his nephew.
Aaro may no longer spout Dave Spartish politics, but,at least on Wednesday, he preserved the dress code of a 70s student radical, in scuffed trainers, blue jeans, & rumpled linen jacket!

Good on you, Craig, for refusing to buy the lies. You are quite correct.
