In over a year of blogging I've had hardly any contact with British blogger's. Mike got me blogging and I met deek not so long back (check out Drunk Baboons, Tripping Leopards) but apart from these two... erm... I think thats it. Everything else has been from over the pond. I sort of thought that blogging was largely a US phenomenon.
Checking out the truth laid bear's British section I found a couple worthy of note. Harry's place has an intriguing comment on a post about the BBC's Panorama: MCB Special
(talking about Omar Saeed Sheikh)
I read a fascinating study of him - he was captured in Kashmir and did porridge in the highest security prison in India - but he was so highly regarded by the Pakistan based Jihadis that they hijacked an Indian airplane in Nepal specifically to have him released - one passenger was killed, the plane landed in Afghanistan, Sheikh was released in retun for the Indian passengers - a couple of years later he reappears in Pakistan and is responsible for luring Daniel Pearl to his death - so he is caught and tried in private because Musharaff is terrified of the secrets he will spill about ISI involvment with Jihadism (he refuses to allow the CIA access to him) - rumours abound that he has info on a connection between Bin Laden and Pakistani secret service - he is sentenced to death but for some reason the sentence is not carried out - they say that the Al Qaeda leadership had him earmarked for a possible future leader so charismatic, intelligent and commited he was - anyway, the last they heard was that Omar Shaikh had converted the guards at the prison he is being kept in to radical Islam and is living like a Lord there - he has that gift of the gab - and he is still alive.

All the comments are interesting, this being about the controversial Panorama documentary I blogged about a while back. Abu Hamza called these guys "The Kaffir Council of Britain" it's quite strange seeing everyone call them extremist's.
I noticed someone else critisised MPACUK for links to anti-semetic websites.

I bet some US 'publican sent them all to convert you to free-market consumerism and bankrupt you spending all your money on Viagra and gadgets.
This gadget looks like it could be dangerous in the wrong hands...
