Not ‘clean skins’:
The Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) describes in detail what officers knew of Mohammed Sidique Khan before the suicide bombings in London, which killed 52 people.
The report will do nothing to prevent the calls for a full public inquiry into the attacks. Rachel North has more.

Right-wing nonsense at its finest:
It is not even worth destroying James Littlepole’s ‘point’. I would just prefer to laugh at his stupidity.

A jury has cleared three men accused of helping the London July bombers choose their targets:
But two of the men were found guilty of attending a ‘terror camp’.
Rachel North calls for an independent inquiry into the bombings (so has one of the acquitted men). It is likely that some of the reasons the government doesn’t want an independent inquiry are:
1. Such an inquiry may expose the incompetence of the security services. As North points out the men who carried out the London July bombings were known to the security services; they weren’t ‘clean skins’.
2. The costs involved (already ~£100m has been spent on the criminal investigation). Then again, New Labour wasted enough money on one of the biggest frauds committed in front of our eyes, so several hundred million spent into investigating the worst terrorist attack in Britain is nothing.
3. Ultimately, there is probably little you can do about people deranged and stupid enough to think that blowing up a train or bus brings some kind of divine retribution on oppressors.
