I think this is a good point actually. Did you know that there has been nobody in the USA convicted of being a terrorist, plotting attacks or being a member of Al Qaeda. Same goes for Europe. So where are all those terror cells that the FBI, CIA and MI5 have supposedly cracked?
Oh yeah, and did you know that a dirty bomb would kill nobody from the radiation. The worst you would get is mild poisoning, and that is based on a test done by the US where nobody fled the scene for one year.
The threat posed to us, and the capabilities of Al Qaeda, are largely exaggerated; and it does not help that the media and Governments will put out all these scare stories on flimsy evidence and then when it turns out to be false they fail to retract it so people carry on thinking it is the truth. Im not attacking the US press alone, all newspapers do it, British, Aussie, French, Canadian, as it sells papers, even if it is bad for society and the population as a whole.
Sorry, I was wrong, there are some terrorists convicted under Britains new terror laws, unfortunatly only 3 of 17 are Islamic, and they are not there for plotting or attacking, only for funding a group in Kashmir or Palestine who "have links" to Al Qaeda. The rest are Irish nationalists or Sikh militants.
