US officials suggest al-Qaida link to 'aircraft terror plot'Not the Brits

[spanone]

This is a story from the Guardian. The headline says that the US suggested the al-Qaida link.....imagine that. Why didn't the British suggest this? After all, it was a British operation.

~snip~ As international disruption began to cause delays at US airports, Mr Chertoff and Robert Mueller, the director of the FBI, became the first officials to publicly suggest al-Qaida might have been involved. Speaking to reporters in Washington DC, Mr Chertoff repeatedly cited the British legal system as a reason for withholding details, but he did call the disrupted plans "suggestive of an al-Qaida plot". Mr Mueller also said the scheme "had the earmarks of an al-Qaida plot."

....next Tuesday when everyone following the real facts knows that this "plot" has as much to do with "Al Queda" as a fish does with a bicycle, the truth will NOT make the headline....
