1. wow... what a stupid, non-news question

it's these types of "angles" that have brought me to loathe CNN over the years.

3. Especially since the "plot" wouldn't have worked. As usual.

AND we've known about it for months but decided to arrest them all now (right after Bartlett resigns, hmm).

Did you hear the delusional plot leader saying that Americans revere JFK so much that damaging an airport named after him would send Americans into deep mourning? Good God, how clueless can you get?

5. Possibly

also a favor for lapdog Blair's heir apparent:

"Brown plans new anti-terror laws

Intercept evidence rules could change under a Brown premiership
Gordon Brown is planning a raft of new anti-terror laws when he becomes prime minister this month, it has emerged."

(or at least he has been briefed in advance to make use of the timing).

4. If CNN existed in 1944 ...

Would the firebombing of San Diego by the Japanese have as much emotional impact as Pearl Harbor?

Vote now!

6. If the attack on JFK had gone forward, it would have been the end of the world as we know it.

Sure it would have been.

Run, BushAmericans! The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
