This image taken by Keith Tagg Adam Stacey with his camphone.He was on the northern line just past Kings Cross. Train suddenly stopped and filled with smoke. People in carriage smashed tube windows to get out and then were evacuated along the train tunnel. He's suffering from smoke inhalation but fine otherwise.

It usually takes a few days before all the facts become concrete and the rumours are debunked. The media is notorious for presenting such things to us in these situations because of the lack of facts and information they have. As time goes on we shall hear the full account.

Shocking, really shocking. When one sees such images it does bring the whole event to a much more personal level. The old addage of a million deaths being a statistic, but one death being a tragedy is very true.

I don't think a determined effort by a secretive organisation can be easily intercepted. |

That's just the thing. Michael Howard was being interviewed on the BBC earlier today and he made the very salient point that whilst attacks are not inevitable, there is also no guarantee that they can always be prevented. The nature of today's attacks makes them very difficult to intercept. Of course we still don't have all the details so it is both difficult and unwise to speculate upon how they were carried out exactly, but one imagines that if they could have been prevented they would have.

Er, to monitor Saddams WMD?
It's difficult to monitor people who don't want to be monitored, however sophisticated your intelligence service is. |

batesie there is only so much a intelligence service can do...MI5 and MI6 have done a very good job in the last couple of years by arresting and closing down terrorist cells...but eventually someone will always slip through the net.

GUYS!
Will you stop trying to run the government. They did all they can, they couldnt prevent this, it has happened. It will be interesting to see what Mi6 does about this, whether they decide to pursue terrorists seeing as now we have a REASON to fight the war on terrorism, we arent just helping bush out.

We have always pursued terrorists and we have every right to protect our sovereignty. What is this "war on terrorism"?
Helping Bush invade a sovereign nation has and had nothing to do with the "war on terrorism". |

This thread is dedicated to the war in Iraq. Perhaps anyone who wishes to discuss such issues could use that instead of this one? 
I'm sure someone can create a new political thread if there are none of the many older ones still available should anyone wish to discuss other political issues.

you guys are going off-topic again.
While I share your opinions and do agree that what's happening in Iraq is one of the greatest crimes of humanity in the last 100 years (i'm half Iraqi btw), this thread is NOT the place to discuss it. PLEASE use this thread for it's intended purpose.
Thank you
