Despite Their Best Efforts...

Despite the best efforts of the ACLU and the "loyal opposition" to undermine our security efforts, the terrorist plot to bomb multiple airliners flying out of the UK was foiled by Scotland Yard and other members of the UK security apparatus last week.

Via ThunderTails we are treated to this opinion piece from the Wall Street Journal. Please take the time to read it!

"This wasn't supposed to happen today," a U.S. official told the Washington Post of the arrests and terror alert. "It was supposed to happen several days from now. We hear the British lost track of one or two guys. They had to move." Meanwhile, British antiterrorism chief Peter Clarke said at a news conference that the plot was foiled because "a large number of people" had been under surveillance, with police monitoring "spending, travel and communications."

Let's emphasize that again: The plot was foiled because a large number of people were under surveillance concerning their spending, travel and communications. Which leads us to wonder if Scotland Yard would have succeeded if the ACLU or the New York Times had first learned the details of such surveillance programs.

Well, I think most of us can figure out the answer to that last question. The real question is will it ever get to the point where they will be on OUR side. At what point will things get so bad that they will finally see the threat for what it is and jump on board to try and defeat these people who wish us all dead. Maybe never. Maybe when it's too late.

At least some people are beginning to recognize these weasels for the collaborators that they are.
