CBC-TV also reports on London disaster drill story
There's a clip floating around apparently from ITV in Britain, and stories of an interview supposedly from BBC radio, but this is the first one I've seen actually posted on a mainstream media source.

The following report was aired on this evening's CBC television news, and includes another clip with Peter Power of Visor Consultants, where he repeats the story about his firm running a preparedness exercise on the morning of the London Bombings "....which was almost identical to the scenario that happened..."

2. What's significant about this is
the other threads were deleted or locked because the source of the information was unacceptable. This is the first time a mainstream news source has verified the story.

5. I know...but in Mr. Jones defense...he's been right a lot more than
say...Fox News for example.

8. I'm not judging his track record--noticed how right he's been on some
things myself.
Just saying that the discussions on this before have been shut down by the mods because of the source. Now that our source is "acceptable" maybe some will actually have a chance to form opinions on this.

Now as for my opinion on this...
let's just say MIHOP isn't beyond the realm of possibility for me.

3. Frankly.....
I thought it was a bit far-fetched until I saw this. The ITV clip almost convinced me, but I couldn't find it on ITV's web site to verify its origin.

Seems a bit odd that exercises and attacks seem to happen at the same time...

4. Doesn't it. Same thing happened on 9-11 and Cheney was coordinating
the whole thing. It makes for GREAT cover when you are pulling off a major crime.

7. Even people that cannot stand the current administration seem to not
be able to bring themselves to even look at the worst case scenario, MIHOP with these attacks. It is just so unbelievable that they fathom the possibility even when it is put in front of them. Do not know whether the source, particularly the MSM is any more credible than anyone else these days, but I believe it was just another part of the plan.

9. What would that mean? That the bombers might say "perfect" that
will cover us for a few minutes and slow down the response! They may even have been waiting for the next 'practice'. It may have been what was targeted and not G8.

It means nothing.
