I think they have inside reason to beleive it was a terrorist thing because the police officials and higher-ups keep saying "terrorist attack" and they would be the ones to know.....i think the power surge thing was used to not panic the masses.

That makes sense. But the media is really confusing me. First they report power surge. Then they say terrorist attack. Then they say protestant group claiming the bombing. Now it's Al Qaeda.

They also said Tony Blair will not leave the G8 summit. Now they say he will.

I just wish the media would verify their info instead of reporting any rumour they hear. It just confuses, when they should be clarifying.

That's the media for you....the press jump on any rumor they hear without checking to see if it is legit.

Yup. Might as well be gossip columnists.

All I know is what I saw waiting in the dentist's office for five minutes.
I should turn on Tina's TV.

Some days, it is just better to stay in bed.

Yeah, I thought about how they had a history of it. I think it was because so many Americans were freaking out. They still think terrorism started 9/11.

In another thread, I talked about how now wasn't the time to point fingers at Dubya or Blair or Iraq or anything, now was the time to just rally and support our neighbours. And someone else pointed out they've been through it. So I tip my glass to our neighbours then, raise a beer in their honour. I believe the pubs were bumpin today.

If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know about this. Going to turn on my TV now. Bye.

If they're not playing it, check BBC.co.uk out.

my favorite part of this is the al qaeda groups name "secret organization - al qaeda in europe"

it was obviously the americans, just like 9/11.

Top secret of course.

On one hand, it coulda been the Americans. On the other hand, I don't think the current administration is smart enough to pull it off.

"The media should report what is true, not act as fortune tellers reading tea leaves." haha! :-) That is such a quotable line. damn, you are good.

polkaroo79 July 9 2005, 14:49:01 UTC

Hahah thanks. The media's a pet peeve :P
