Losing the plot

Perhaps choosing to let this news out on budget day when the media's attention is somewhat focused on matters fiscal,it has been announced that the 12 men arrested under the prevention of terrorism act were not in fact planning to bomb the Trafford Centre,St Anne's square or anywhere else in the North West.

Instead 11 are to be deported presumably under misuse of their student visas?

Another severe embarrassment to the anti terrorist unit who were forced to move quick after Mr Quick let the proverbial rabbit of the hat outside No 10.

It has been announced that Lord Carlile of Berriew will conduct a review into the events of the last couple of weeks.

Although the police seem to think that it is perfectly reasonable to hold these men for nearly two weeks and then release them without charge,citing as the chief constable of Manchester Mr Fahy says is simply carrying out our duty.

Questions have to be asked about the due process of the arrests and the comments made by certain politicians over the seriousness of the inquiry.
