Last night, Lord CashPoint gets arrested.

This morning, "look, over there, scary terrorists!"

Apparently they've been watching the "suspects" for 6 months. Is the timing of the arrests a coincidence?

Seven hundred police officers were deployed to round-up nine suspects with a bad idea.

Blair re-interviewed

Actually, whenever I've glanced at Sky News in the last four hours it's been covering the re-questioning of Tony Blair over cash for honours. Which is also the lead item on the BBC website at the moment.

Which buggers up the it's-all-a-media-cover-up theory...

Blair interview

Norville B - the Blair interview happened last Friday not today:

Tony Blair has been questioned for a second time by police investigating cash-for-honours allegations, it has emerged after a six-day news blackout.

The interview, which lasted 45 minutes, took place in No 10 last Friday and was kept secret at the request of police.

You have to question the timing of these absurd terror raids -- remember the baby milk terror scare in the summer, conviently happening as the outrage at the US sponsored slaughter in Lebabon was at it's height? The timing of those raids were agreed between Blair and Bush, I'm sure Blair was involved in the discussions about yesterdays raids.
