"No sooner was this blanket surveillance in place, when the flow of audiocassettes dried up. Clearly, Saddam’s contacts among the TV personnel and other objects of surveillance had warned him to lie low and observe total electronic hush so as not to give his hideout away." Very clever of him to remain hidden.

Lindsay German, convener of the Stop the War Coalition said that the attacks in Istanbul were an inevitable consequence of the war. "I hate to say we told you so, but we have been saying from the beginning that the war with Iraq would inevitably lead to more terrorist attacks.

War or now war in Iraq, we'd still be under more and more terrorist attacks.

I'm getting more and more angry at the prominence of anti war demonstrators. Whether it's 70,000 or 200,000, that's still a tiny number of nutters. I used to think that it was a good thing, a check on our sanity. But now I see them as ill-conceived. And when London has suffered the first WMD attack, they'll be saying, 'told you so,' still. We could lay down and let these terrorists tickle our tummies and still they'd try to kill millions of non muslims.
