If I wanted to get hold of surface-to-air missiles in Tipton, where would I go?
This is how it feels to be considered by the Governments of the UK and US to be an 'unlawful combatant' in their 'War Against Terror'. The Observer interviews the 'Tipton Three'. Although I'm happy to admit that it's hearsay, what if they are correct in their closing assertion that no one dangerous is locked up in Guantanamo? With Bin Laden and many Al Qaeda still on the loose, and if Michael Moore's Saudi Arabian connection hypothesis is correct, then US intelligence is deliberately looking in the wrong place for the terrorists who were responsible for Sept. 11th, because to look in the right place would destroy the US economy and plunge the world in to an oil crisis, much worse than anything Al Qaeda could achieve.
All this being mad speculation of course.
