The last few operations by the Police in the UK have led to innocent people being arrested for terrorism or innocent people being shot. Is the arrest of the 21 people today more of the same - how many of the 21 will be released without charge.

y'know comments by Dave and others show there is just NO way to please everyone. If they stop and arrest terrorists then it's done just because of the US elections or some other excuse...if they *DON'T* act and the planes are blown out of the sky then well they should have done something. You can't have it both ways...they either stop it or they don't.
And frankly I think the critics can be the first to deal with the terrorists face to face. It's easy to talk crap when sitting behind a computer in safety thousands of miles from where stuff is happening.
If they turn out to be innocent they will go free. If they are let free and were guilty we *will* lose more planes and civilian lives.
and isn't that the complaint about war areas? the loss of civilian innocents. What about all the people boarding those planes...should they be told 'well you can board the plane without restriction but there may or may not be explosives and terrorists on board and before you do sign this so neither you or any beneficiaries can sue the airline or the government for your disbelief.'
It's a known fact there will be more attacks...they've made no secret of that.

I find it amazing just how few people actually are aware of what is happening here.
The scene has been set by your minds being constantly bombarded by propaganda from the War on Terror. You believe every word of it, and assume that this is the way the world is.
Lets go back in history just five years to the initiation of the war on terror. We all know that it was initiated as a result of 9/11. But most people have a complete blockage about the truth of 9/11. Please understand that it is critically important for any discussion on terrorism to really understand the full truth about 9/11.
For now, let's just say that there are sufficient unanswered questions, including the admissions of the 9/11 commissioners that they were lied to and provided with false evidence, to show that the truth about 9/11 is not known by the public.
Let's for now just assume that the 9/11 commission report was based on a false assumption, and that there were no Muslims involved in the attacks.
If that is the case, then the basis of the war on terror is unfounded, and our belief systems have been led astray.
I hold that 9/11 was an inside job, perpetrated by members of the American government, and not by Muslims. If anyone would like to contact me privately with any questions, I will gladly answer them.
So, for now, even hypothetically, let's assume that there were no Muslims. We know that there were no WMDs in Iraq, so we know that was a lie. We can also be fairly sure that the report on the death of David Kelly was also a whitewash, for the same reasons..
So now we move to the London tube bombings on 7/7.
Similarly, there are so many unanswered questions, and so many falsehoods in the public arena, that this story too has to be seriously questioned, What if this had no Muslim involvement, as I believe is the case.
Can you see where we are going.
The two above situations must be considered as serious possibilities.
Now, look back over the answers to this question. It is apparent that people are afraid of terrorist attacks, and are quite prepared to give up significant chunks of their freedom. But we can see the possibility that this fear is ill-founded. Yet we still are prepared to give away our freedom.
It just so happens that the agenda of the richest people in the world, who form what some have called the Illuminati, is to remove the freedom of the citizenry, so that a state of marshal law can be imposed, and total control handed over to a police state.i.e. the end of all of our freedoms.
Can't you see that we are walking straight into their trap, and begging them to take away our freedom.
Its time to wake up out of this slumber, and realise that we are basing our lives, and answering our questions purely on propaganda.
Go on, take your time, have you rage, laugh at this, but when you've done that, come back and examine it in detail, and see the possibility that you might have had a blinkered view point, and that it might possibly be true. Then do some detailed research of your own, ask me some questions, search other web sites, and, with your newly opened mind, review your thoughts.
I beg you to do this, because if you don't, and we continue to allow our freedom's to be falsely eroded, then George Orwell's 1984 is destined to become reality, only a few years later than predicted.
Tony Blair has passed 3000 resolutions which restrict our freedom since he came to power.
George Bush has done similarly in America. Please open your eyes to what is happening, and help us to get or lives and governments back into some sort of sensible order.
Thank you for reading to the end.
In peace and sanity may we prosper

It depends on the evidence against them, if there is evidence to charge then they will be charged.
Sometimes Police cannot wait until all the best evidence for a prosecution is available, if they did one of the terrorists might actually get through the net and set a bomb off, so therefore they move and abort the terrorists plan, but in protecting the public by swift action no evidence is obtained, ie bomb making material.
These people operate in cells, similar to other terrorist groupings, and in doing so minimise their contact with others, separate people supply money, explosives etc so they are very hard to trace and locate and gain evidence against to prosecute.
So in short wait out and see what happens, but better safe than sorry. Would rather have headline news about flight restrictions and police raids than 10 passenger planes blown up over the Atlantic and 3000+ people killed.

I don't think any of them will be.
To the people who said all 21 of them will be:
Would you rather be blown up or would you rather someone was arrested, even if it was wrongly?
Also, do you think you could do a better job? The are 60 million peope in this country that need protecting! There is going to be errors.
I don't think we can knock MI5 or the Police Force in the UK. They have done a good job in protecting us so far.
However, if they cannot prove that these terrorists are terrorists, then we have a problem.

Not proven guilty is a bit different to being innocent, the problem seems to be that the UK has it's hands tied with red tape, which other country for example would not deport a plane load of hijackers on the grounds that it is a violation of their human rights. Someone has lost the plot big time, my kids could do a better job.

none of them will be innocent but just like with the US laws, proving it with evidence that can be used in court is the problem.
Like the two college kids arrested in helping wiht the terrorist, I doubt we ever convict them, we know they are guilty but having alot of things that are legal but when put together it leads to prove to reasonable people they are terrorist will not be able to be shown in court.
So are they all guilty most likely, will the evidence be ok to be used in court, that is the issue.
More guilty people get let off or charges droped because the evidence is not enought to convict a crime, but it is enough to prove they were invovled.

Whether they are innocent or not has to be decided by Court and lets wait for that.In similar cases it is difficult to produce foolproof evidence to court and it is the legal system to be blamed not police.If they have averted great mishap,we should be happy.
