British Army expert casts doubt on 'liquid explosives' threat, Al Qaeda network in UK Identified

Lieutenant-Colonel (ret.) Nigel Wylde, a former senior British Army Intelligence Officer, has suggested that the police and government story about the "terror plot" revealed on 10th August was part of a "pattern of lies and deceit."

..........................

But Lt. Col. Wylde, who was awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal for his command of the Belfast Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit in 1974, described this scenario as a "fiction." Creating liquid explosives is a "highly dangerous and sophisticated task," he states, one that requires not only significant chemical expertise but also appropriate equipment.

.....................

"This story has been blown out of all proportion. The liquids would need to be carefully distilled at freezing temperatures to extract the required chemicals, which are very difficult to obtain in the purities needed."

..........................

If there was a conspiracy, he added, "it did not involve manufacturing the explosives in the loo," as this simply "could not have worked." The process would be quickly and easily detected. The fumes of the chemicals in the toilet "would be smelt by anybody in the area." They would also inevitably "cause the alarms in the toilet and in the air change system in the aircraft to be triggered. The pilot has the ability to dump all the air from an aircraft as a fire-fighting measure, leaving people to use oxygen masks. All this means the planned attack would be detected long before the queues outside the loo had grown to enormous lengths."

...down the memory hole again.

Mission accomplished!

[glitch]

3. Hard to believe people still around who give Bush/Blair the benefit of the

doubt, even here on DU. How many lies does it take before doubt kicks in?

[fed-up]

4. I'll be singing this all day- "the queues outside the loo" n/t

8. Busholini got a bounce in the Polls.

Even though this farce was a UK operation, Busholini took credit for the fight against "Terror". Yeah, there are people that are really that stupid.

9. Jail time for Blair. KR

This is an outrage. I flew the day after this little gem was dropped on the air waves. Thousands of people were maj orly hassled at Dulles, lines from one end to the other. Nobody showed up early, except passengers of course. Once security got going, it was fast but you had to wonder...were they rushing the security checks of all of US Citizens who never do any of the crap they're supposed to stop...irony of ironies, their inefficiency and lack of consideration resulted in quicker security checks. The agents are very professional and I'm not criticizing them at all. It's the fabricators like Blair etc.
