The Plot Sickens
Today British authorities stopped a major terror attack within days of a dry run. A plot that would have killed thousands of people. A plot that involved the use of liquid or gel explosives and suicide bombers on airplanes in trans-Atlantic flights. A plan that would have targeted at least 10 airplanes filled hundreds of passengers in each plane. A potential death toll greater than that of the World Trade Center and all of the casualties from 9/11/2001. I have read repeated updated reports all day long with more and more specific information. I have watched as strict controls on carry on luggage have begun to be felt in airports all over the world.
I was going to go on here to excoriate some of the worst rhetoric I have read from some bloggers, but The Anchoress has already done a heck of a job on it, so I'd as soon not try to gild a lily. Go read what she wrote. Ask yourself if you hear yourself.
