Yup, they may have been under servallance [sic] for some time, but that doesn't make them guilty of anything or breaking any laws. Based on our legal systems there has to be something other than a nasty e-mail or message board posting that gives the government the right to throw you in the klink. Well, that was before the USA PATRIOT act. I didn't realize that was in law over in Britian as well.
That was the impression the news had given us. The information released was they had stopped people trying to get on planes and they were even afraid some had indeed got on planes and were headed to America. That information was from the British and United States governments.
How about act when they have evidence of something that will stand up in court?
Yes, I can't wait until we hear this is another instance of some "kids" talking tough on the internet and at their mosque in an effort to get attention and seem like they're big wheels. Too much of that crap going on.
When are people going to learn that "terrorism" wins everytime we see over-reaction. That's what the game is all about. They fart and we evacuate the neighborhood, afraid it was a poison gas attack. Over-reaction can be worse than no reaction at times. In this particular instance, no reaction would likely have been better. It is begining to sound like there was no viable threat and that it was a hysterical over-reaction. Oh, and election time is right around the corner! What a coincidence!!!

Lanny............You have no idea what kind of evidence they have. No one does other than the immediate detectives and if you want to listen to these news reports then your a bigot because all you do is preach about how the media misleads the population for the purpose of the government.
Just so you know, this happened in the UK. Do you know there laws??? Not sure why your bringing up the patriot act (which I think is a pile of rubish). You, along with many other people seemed to have the right to jump to all these conclusions before there is really any substancial evidence available. I for one would rather them be safe then sorry.
As far as your concerned they can't win. They act to soon, then they are facist officials violating their rights. They wait to long and they are part of the plot. Boggles my mind.
