Bloggers. It is a wonder she didn't post on Jezebel about the mean PATARICHY too.

Bitch needed a motorcycle helmet put on her head.

When the next bombing event involves Dieskau 6-pdrs, grumbler's is going to be the first house hit.

What about if the next bombing event involves unopened wargames?

Okay. So boss calls police, police then have to choose to ignore potential terrorist plot or report it up the chain. There's nothing wrong with this story. Except for her moaning about it

But it is so timely!

Seriously, if the NSA or GCHQ or POT are going to spy on everybody I sort of expect them to use that info for something useful. Yes the government has people looking for potential terrorists. These people seem rather good at their jobs considering the conviction/successful attack ratio.

The thing was here in norway ABB was flagged by the POT based on electric surveillance and police informants inside extremist mileus and they did nothing. Not even the friendly knock on the door to make sure all the crazy loons realized that they were actually being watched. POT was collecting the information but wasn't doing anything with it.

I want the police to look into potential terrorists, I want them to profile to make sure their time is spent well and I the interaction this woman wrote about is precisely the interaction that should be happening from time to time. I want the police's profile to include lots of innocent people who can be ruled out by a simple investigation rather than permitting a grey area where potential murderers do exist but the police don't investigate.

I want more green jobs.

I want apple bottom jeans.

Thank Hod we've reached the point where we can draw public-policy conclusions based on an unsubstantiated blog entry.  The old days of sources, fact-checking, and editing made it virtually impossible to believe in black helicopters, the one-world-government conspiracy at the UN, and Bigfoot - and what fun was that?

Since this is a first hand account, what other information would need to be added to meet 'your standard'?

[garbon]

Most sightings of aliens are reported as first hand accounts.

A second source would be good, and a publication in a new medium that engages in fact-checking would help.

But stories don't have to meet my standards for you to draw conclusions about public policy.  Feel free to continue to follow tabloid-journalism standards of evidence, and ignore that background noise (which is all the sensible people laughing at you).  Trust me - you can't hurt your rep at this point.

What, the sight of all those hexagons too exciting for you?
