Bombing in Glasgow

It has been about a week since the car which was in gulfed in flames crashed in the Glascow Airport.  2 doctors have been arrested.  This event seems to be linked to the London attack of last week.  That seems to be all that we truly know.  Doctors.  Attack.  From the Middle East.  It is unclear if there is a direct link to Al Qaeda.  The plot seems to have been at least inspired by Al Qaeda.  There doctors were screened by British procedures but still slid through.

One of the questions that right wing bloggers ask is why does it take a week to post something about a major terrorist attemptted attack.  There have been so many false alarms and pseudo-attacks, I don’t want to personally add to the hype.  I would like to simply put out meaningful information.

From NYT:

Investigators have identified two “principal protagonists” in the botched terrorist attacks in London and Glasgow and are trying to establish how the other detained suspects fit in, a British security official said Saturday.

The two principal suspects are almost certainly the two men arrested after crashing their Jeep Cherokee into a terminal at Glasgow’s international airport: Dr. Bilal Abdulla, a British-born Iraqi doctor who was formally charged Saturday, and a man known both as Kaleef and Khalid Ahmed, an Indian engineer who is being treated for severe burns sustained in the attack last week.  (more…)

Elton John – Your Song

I have been rather slack the last few days.  Having a grandson around will cause you to be tried and be completely unable to blog (since he wants to type on the keyboard with me).

I didn’t post any music for last night.  Therefore, I’m going to post 3 GREAT tunes tonight.  Elton John just needs to be seen to be believed.   Don’t judge by watching some video of a concert.  I have seen it.  I have also seen him live in the late 70′s.  If he is playing in a 180 mile radius he is worth the price of admission plus the drive.

A couple of items

  • Estimates for the total cost of the Iraq War now top $1.4 trillion.  I have only one question, what have we got for our money.  Oh, I forgot, we’re safer.  NOT!
  • Iraq refugees are getting no love from anyone. 
  • US 6th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the ACLU can not sue the NSA about its wiretapping program.  The court ruled that the ACLU could not show direct damage from the program.  The ACLU can appeal to the Supreme Court.  The ever more conservative Supreme Court would have an opportunity to make us all gasp in horror.
  • Ties between Chris Matthews and Ann Coulter are documented here.  Maybe this explains why she continues to get airtime on his show.
  • Tomorrow on the Errington Thompson Show I’ll discuss why Scooter was convicted and should still go to jail.
