From the page: “POLICE shot and killed an apparent suspect suicide bomber in a London Tube station this morning in a “shoot to kill” response”

Shoot to kill? without proof? in the UK? Looks like we’re turning into America :-( I hope to God they got the right guy.

From the page: “In an open society such as the U.K. it is notoriously difficult to prevent no-warning coordinated suicide attacks, the characteristic modus operandi of Al-Qaeda,” the report said.”

So what does that mean? We should become less open? No thanks!

“It said Britain had been conducting counterterrorism efforts “not in the sense of being an equal decision maker,” but rather as a passenger “compelled to leaving the steering to the ally in the driving seat.”

Hmm think there may be some truth in that one.
