Former British ambassador Craig Murray has called the alleged plot to bomb American transatlantic flights as "rubbish" that the media has bought, wholesale. | “...none of the alleged terrorists had made a bomb or bought a plane ticket and many of them did not even have passports...” |
Murray writes in the online publication Counterpunch that none of the alleged terrorists had made a bomb or bought a plane ticket and many of them did not even have passports, which, given the "efficiency" of the British Passport Agency, would mean they could not have become plane bombers for "quite some time". Murray notes that many of those arrested had been under surveillance and finds it "extraordinary" that the plot had not turned up in a year of surveillance. "Of course, the interrogators of the Pakistani dictator have their ways of making people sing like canaries," he writes. |
