cost effective terrorism

Nice to see Al Qaeda agents getting their legal expenses paid for by me.
What a privilege.
Judge Liberal has granted free legal aid to the bomb threat passenger who this week caused the diversion of a flight to our country by claiming to have a bomb on board the plane.
The free legal aid okayed by Judge Liberal means his lawyer can write a blank checque for herself.
I'll be picking up the tab.
When it's tax payers money, who's counting.
The latest bomb threat passenger is a part of Al Qaeda's new strategy for sowing panic on commercial airlines.
It's a much more relaxed strategy for the terrorists themselves as they don't have to die to implement it.
Al Qaeda have discovered that paying someone to say he has a bomb, or to check luggage onto a plane and not fly, or to simply shout "Allah U Akbar" and jump out of their seat on landing, is a very cost effective way of sabotaging aviation and spreading panic throughout the western world.
It's easier to get operatives for those missions than for the suicide ones.
And western countries, like Ireland, still invariably release such operatives with at best a stern warning from a Judge, and at worst a shrug of the shoulders from some low level overfed porcine cop who has absolutely no interest in securing the public safety.
Some of them, as in the case of the Merry Imams of Montana, even end up sueing the airlines.
Allow me to award some rare kudos to the odious Irish Independent newspaper who at least printed a picture of Jorge Flores the bomb threat scum in question.
The picture made it clear that although Jorge has Dutch citizenship, he's not really Dutch.
The picture also made it clear that although Jorge has an Hispanic name, he's not really Spanish.
On the debit side, the Irish Independent and other newspapers covering the incident, wrote their entire reports without once mentioning either Al Qaeda or the peace loving religion of Islam.
