Comment The US spin machine (Score 1) 1792
The news coming from inside the U.S. vs outside sure has a different spin on this ordeal.
###
U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said that, while the operation was centred on Britain, it was international in scope and sophisticated, and involved many people. (... BS, it was the brits)
"This operation is in some respects suggestive of an al Qaeda plot, but because the investigation is still under way, we cannot yet form a definitive conclusion," Chertoff said. (... ahh US government spreading the fear again)
British police sources did not rule out an al Qaeda link, but played down direct involvement by the global militant group. Police sources said some of those arrested were British Muslims. (... also notably missing from any british reports are the words "terrorist cell", instead calling them a "group")
###
The only people publicly saying anything about al Qaeda is the US government. I also don't believe the US authorities knew or did didly squat, but they sure are making the rounds now. Makes me sick to see the US reporters blindly quoting Chertoff the jerkoff.
