I smell bullshit.
The other day, I made note that Tom Ridge decided that he'd put air marshalls on any plane he wanted, from any country in the world, and that if said country didn't let him put air marshalls on any plane he wanted, he'd simply refuse to let said plane land in this country.
Most countries went along, but it seems that the UK Pilots' Union and British Airways had something to say about it - namely, that it would do more harm than good and put passengers at risk.
Well, lo and behold, the very next day we let it drop that UK airlines are 'under threat.'
Question: how come the US knows that British planes are threatened, when UK intelligence says no such thing? I just checked the Guardian, and there's no mention of UK airlines being threatened that I could find.
Just sayin'.
Replies: somebody speaks up.
The smell is eminating from
'the bureau of perpetual war'
