Actual pesky terrorists!

I've written lots of posts about all the bogus terrorism busts here in the UK, which usually result in nothing more than sensational headlines. It seems that after the headline hoopla and speeches, most times people forget to notice when no actual trials result.

More usually, the only result is some new law, loss of privacy, or regulation. Remember the big airline plot from last summer? No convictions, but you still have to board the airplane with your toothpaste in a clear plastic bag.

Anyway, today it seems they actually convicted some pesky terrorists. Strangely though, I don't even remember any sensational headlines about this one:

Five men have been jailed for life for a UK bomb plot linked to al-Qaeda that could have killed hundreds of people.

Well blow me down. We're really are overrun with terrorists, and the police finally caught some.
