08/03/2004: "Terror Arrests in England"

Via The Command Post, British police "have arrested 13 people in anti-terrorism raids around Britain." (Quote from Sky News.)

What caught my eye came from a BBC eyewitness account; A neighbor "said the men had been dressed by police in white paper suits and their hands and feet covered with plastic bags before they were driven away." It seems the police want to preserve all evidence, including potential traces of bomb making materials on the suspect's hands and clothing.

Frankly (and forgive me if I go out on too much of a limb here), I don't think that Islamic Terrorists like us right now. If they could bomb us, they would. At some point, we need to look at the dog that isn't barking. If nothing happens; if there are no more successful terrorist assaults before the election; I'd have to say that this peace for our time is not due to any lack of effort, but because of successful prevention.
