More on the politics of terror from two "government controlled mainstream media sources" - the Washington Post and Newsweek.

Both raising questions as to the timing of the Al Queda warning vis a vis the US election and even the arrests in Pakistan.

and an excellent opinion piece in Newsweek wondering about the timing of all this and the fact the warning from Homeland Security guy Tom Ridge didn't mention the information he was using was dated:

Yet, there are the Brits again yesterday, rounding up 12 Pakistani's in their country including an apparent Al Queda leader who's name showed up as a result of the computer seizure in Pakistan.

Who is right? The conspiracy theorists or the people, including the opposition parties in Britain, who say the government should tell the public what they know when they know it?

And, for the techno's in the crowd, a look at how Al-Queda is communicating in cyberspace.
