Trio in court over ‘rucksack bomb plot bigger than 7/7’

So anti-terror police investigations continue to work. The best thing about failed terror plots, no matter how spectacular and devastating they could have been had they succeeded? Nobody gives a shit. Yes, we’re happy they failed, but whether they failed at cutting down an exit sign to confuse tourists or they failed at blowing up the Rio Grande (??) it rates the same.

One minor observation, though. If President Bush hadn’t been asleep at the wheel his first eight months and took Clinton’s suggestions seriously, and we somehow prevented 9/11 (not that it was Bush’s fault, mind you), we wouldn’t be subjected to “God Bless America” during the seventh inning stretch at all televised baseball games (for those who don’t watch baseball regularly or go see the games live, before 9/11 we used to only sing “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” - though now a generation of kids think it’s always been GBA in the 7th.
