Latest Conspiracy Theory

This might be worth watching. MSNBC is reporting that BushCo pressured the British into arresting the suspected bombers before they wanted to. Those cynics over at the DailyKos, provide some more detail which suggests that it may have been politically motivated. Who would have thought...!

I get this all-too-familiar yet strange feeling that BushCo wanted the British to bust the suspects very shortly before the Connecticut primary.

UPDATE: MSNBC is reporting this was an active dispute and that the British wanted the investigation to proceed because some of the suspects did not have passports, airline tickets weren't purchased, and the British wanted one suspect who wanted to do a "dry run" to buy a ticket.

There was also a dispute over a British citizen picked up in Pakistan. The Americans wanted to pick him up immediately in Pakistan; the British wanted to wait and, in fact, the suspect was arrested before the British wanted it to happen. Wonder if that tells us who Pakistan listens to more....

MSNBC claims:

The British official said the Americans also argued over the timing of the arrest of suspected ringleader Rashid Rauf in Pakistan, warning that if he was not taken into custody immediately, the U.S. would "render" him or pressure the Pakistani government to arrest him.

British security was concerned that Rauf be taken into custody "in circumstances where there was due process," according to the official, so that he could be tried in British courts. Ultimately, this official says, Rauf was arrested over the objections of the British.

Those damn Brits, seemed they wanted to obey the law and get all the evidence, you know... do it right *sigh*
