London latest

Notwithstanding Dubya's constant sneering at the "law enforcement" approach to terrorism, it seems that the preferred approach of the British police is to do detective work and find people to prosecute -- unless it seems that they are about to blow themselves up. By the Karl Rove standard, the police are thus liberals:

[White House Press Briefing] MR. McCLELLAN: He [Karl Rove] was speaking to a political organization. There are many who have looked at the war on terrorism and said it is a law enforcement matter, that we should prosecute people. The President recognizes that it is a war and that we must stay on the offensive, we must take the fight to the enemy. The best way to defeat the enemy is to fight them abroad and bring them to justice before they can carry out their attacks here at home.
