British Thwart Terror Plot

Is this real or deja vu all over again? The British say they've stopped a major plot to attack up to 10 airliners coming to the U.S. Is this real or another hoax resulting from ineffective torture? There have been so many phony warnings and blown out of proportion, high profile arrests of wannabes who knows?

The "cry wolf" effect has us all jaded. This is all the result of politically driven policy. After Curveball, crazy, looney, tortured operatives, trumped up "terrorist cells" with no connections to anyone and no ability to actually do anything, and heaven knows how many other false, sensationalized anouncements I'm not inclined to believe any of it.

Before I'm willing to give a pat on the back I need reassurance we aren't getting the wool pulled over our eyes once more.

Update: This all strikes me as another attempt to get all the talk abut how badly Bush is doing off the news. Since the Lieberman debacle in Connecticut there's been non-stop discussion about how angry all the voters are and how Bush has bungled everything. Now, surprise, there's a major terror alert.

If this was for real Bush wouldn't have gone on vacation. If he did knowing this was going on he should be tried for gross malfeasance in office.
