From the New Duranty Times:
LONDON, July 20 - Britain took the first step today toward deporting firebrand clerics to Arab and other countries, striking a preliminary agreement with Jordan that could lead to the expulsion of a suspected close ally of Osama bin Laden.After the London bombings, the move was the latest sign that - belatedly in the eyes of its critics - Britain is cranking up antiterrorist procedures, moving away from a longstanding policy of offering sanctuary to Muslim radicals who might face torture or the death penalty in their own countries.
Britain's home secretary, Charles Clarke, also said he had authorized a global list of suspects likely to be expelled from or barred entry into Britain if they were found to be "preaching, running a Web site or writing articles which are intended to foment or provoke terrorism."
The measures against what the police here call "preachers of hate" follow years of taunts by foreign intelligence services that British tolerance of radical clerics and terror suspects wanted in other places had turned London into "Londonistan" or "Beirut-on-Thames."...
It's treating the symptom, but I guess we should be happy for at least something. Who knows, maybe a study of exactly how these 'preachers' are networked, like 'who are the ring leaders' and how they are linked to each other and the financiers, and a few raids and some seized arabic documents get translated, they might discover the first hints of the master plan.
What do they plan to do with Sheik Ken Livingstone?
His wife will divorce him by saying: "I divorce you. I divorce you. I divorce you."
....oh, waaait. That doesn't work when a 'chick' says it. Only works for guys. The magic must only be functional when a guy says it. Maybe women's magic only gets to clean dishes and be sexual objects in islam.
Now that's fair.

Reset, The master plan is in the quran.
It's a start. Next are the sympathizers.
Too little, too late.
It is at least a recognition of the utter folly of the previous policy, the head in the sand policy.
Blair is so right about Iraq, and so blind about the dangers of islam as an ideology, that you don't whether to cheer or weep.
is someone sprouting a pair?
