Bush and Blair have both, in the past, exaggerated or distorted intelligence for their own benefit.
The current terror alert in London could be another example where flimsy facts have been exaggerated out of all proportion for polical ends.
It has certainly taken Iraq and Lebanon off the front pages and created another round of anti-muslim feelings around the world.
The whole event could have been stage managed to increase home support for Bush/Blair's unpopular wars and give Israel a cover increase military activity in Lebanon.
The nervousness created in the world by the London reports, provides Israel with a golden opportunity to sunstantially raise the stakes in Lebanon with little chance of cricism from the rest of the world.
This opportunity is unlikely to be missed and we could see a major incursion into sourthen Lebanon including a massive ground attack, possibly this weekend.
Could intelligence have been exaggerated and manipluated like this in todays world?
