Bloggers respond to airplane bomb plot

Terror plot foiled screamed the flashing BREAKING NEWS graphics on the tele. You could feel the unease on Doc Searls' post when he wrote from Boston Logan's airport:

British officials, CNN just said, have "disrupted a plot to commit mass murder on an unimaginable scale".
It says they "disrupted" the plot. That's not the same as "stopped".

The Counter Terrorism Blog had a good roundup of news and analysis, and as was reported later in the day, this plot was eerily similar, some would say exactly the same, as a 1995 plot to blow up 11 planes over the Pacific.

Sunny at Pickled Politics has a good roundup of the response from British bloggers. From looking at the roundup, British scepticism is alive and well on the blogs.
