First Craig wants you to believe he's a security expert and therefore he knows better than anyone else.
I have been reading very carefully through all the Sunday newspapers to try and analyse the truth from all the scores of pages claiming to detail the so-called bomb plot. Unlike the great herd of so-called security experts doing the media analysis, I have the advantage of having had the very highest security clearances myself, having done a huge amount of professional intelligence analysis, and having been inside the spin machine.
Riiight. That's it? That's all you've got? Super sleuth Craig used all that expertise to analyse - the Sunday Papers!! Gee, why doesn't the security services just do that and save us all a lot of money?
Now, remind be again of Craig's government positions which endowed him with his super sleuth powers.
He joined the civil service in 1984. Until 2002, he worked for the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office in Africa, apart from 1992 to 1997, when he worked for it in Europe. In 2002, he became UK Ambassador to Uzbekistan, and was dismissed from that post in October 2004.
I'm underwhelmed and you will be too when you read his super sleuting.
None of the alleged terrorists had made a bomb.
Well duh, Craig. The plan was to make the bomb on the plane by combining components from different terrorists.
None had bought a plane ticket.
Now really Craig with all that intel background and super sleuth skills, you know the ones you applied to the papers, you should have done better. Ever hear of Google Craig? Just Google Muslim terror plot+dry run. Here's a report on the tickets and how they were paid for.
The New York Times reported yesterday that one former Pakistani official close to intelligence officials in Pakistan said Jamaat-ud-Dawa provided the money that was to be used to buy plane tickets for the suspects to conduct a dry run and the actual attacks. The money is believed to have come directly from the group's network in Britain and was not sent from Pakistan, the former official said.
Similar reports have appeared in the British media.
Just do the Google search and you'll see it's all over the internet.
Craig's super sleuting continues...to fail.
Many did not even have passports...
Notice he says "many did not" not all. How he knows this from the papers is anybody's guess. But what we do know is that some of them did have passports because as the New York Times reports (the same report cited by the Globe and Mail), several of the plotters flew to Pakistan with the last few weeks. I think you need a passport for that Craig.
Craig's paranoia starts to creep in.
What is more, many of those arrested had been under surveillance for over a year - like thousands of other British Muslims. And not just Muslims. Like me.
His sleuthing continues.
Nothing from that surveillance had indicated the need for early arrests.
And your point is? Why make an early arrest when you can continue the surveillance and catch more terrorists? You're not making much sense Craig old bean but that doesn't stop him.
Then an interrogation in Pakistan revealed the details of this amazing plot to blow up multiple planes - which, rather extraordinarily, had not turned up in a year of surveillance.
Wow! Batman Craig knows all this from the papers! Which papers is he smoking?
The Washington Post gives our hapless inspector a clue.
Pakistani officials said Thursday they had worked closely with U.S. and British intelligence since December to counter the plot. Tasnim Aslam, spokeswoman for Pakistan's Foreign Ministry in Islamabad, said several arrests were made in Pakistan on Wednesday; security sources said the arrests took place in Punjab province.
Until recently, authorities believed they had the entire group of plotters under surveillance and were allowing them to continue their planning as police secretly gathered evidence for trial. But authorities became concerned in recent days that there might be additional unknown conspirators, according to two senior intelligence sources.
The lack of certainty forced authorities to begin the arrests sooner than anticipated, U.S. and European intelligence officials said, and to impose a ban on taking liquids aboard planes in case other plotters moved forward in response to the arrests.
Read the rest of this drivel if you want.
So, why would this disgraced former British civil servant make such a public fool of himself? Here's a clue. " In November 2005, he took part in the Axis for Peace Conference in Brussels with world anti-imperialist leaders."
What a tool.
