I just want to know if Lou Dobbs, or anyone in the MSM has the fortitude to report on this. The day before the arrests, Cheney made a "highly unusual" move of calling a phone conference with members of the media. The subject? How the Democrats are weak on terrorism because they did not elect Lieberman. It was a theme immediately after the election results, with Cheney and Rove going so far as to make bold moves such as a teleconference.
The next day? Huge RED alert, terror arrests. The White House and others insisted they had no foreknowledge of this and it did not motivate their incessant attacks regarding the Democrats supposed weakness on terrorism. Hmmmm.. Here is a clip from an article that just apeared today, about the arrests:
<<Two were Britons arrested about a week ago, he said. The five Pakistanis were arrested on suspicion they served as local "facilitators" for the two Britons, the official said. It wasn't clear when they were detained.
The Guardian newspaper, citing unidentified British government sources, said after the first two arrests were made in Pakistan, a message was sent to Britain telling the plotters: "Do your attacks now." That message was intercepted and decoded earlier this week, The Guardian said.>>

And they are trying to claim that they had no foreknowledge of the arrests? Can some journalists please put two and two together?
I have no doubt that this was a very important terror arrest, and am glad that these people are off the street if they are indeed planning attacks. I do have a problem with Bush, Rove, & Co, using this for personal gain. And people wonder why so many of us are skeptical about these things???
