I'm not saying that this isn't a significant event or that I'm not grateful to british intelligence for thwarting these plans of attack. I do, however, note a noticable difference in tone from what the british officials are saying about this event and how it is being portrayed by their American counterparts. This will be spun to gain every political advantage possible by this administration, which most times, seems far more important to them than actually doing anything to make us safer.
I'm far more interested in what the british have to say about this and will stick with the BBC, rather than hear the story from people like Michael Chertoff and George Bush, who aren't as interested in the facts as they are in working those facts into something that they can use.
