The chickens are roosting

Over the weekend we had protest marches and rallies against the anti terror laws, the usual loose-alliance of greens, pro terrorists, civil libertarians and professional protestors. John Howard was accused of scare mongering and trying to deflect attention away from the end-of-civilisation IR reforms. I was quite taken aback by the seething hatred displayed towards the PM by his opponent/haters in the Parliament, but fear not, he's kicked em in the crotch (not literally, although with the new laws...) before and will again.

No we cannot be too harsh on the terrorists, appease, appease, it won't work, it will drive them underground, war against Islam, hand wring, more dialogue, Howard the dictator, muzzling freedom. He was muzzling freedom alright, the freedom to hate.

A large scale terrorist attack in Australia has been foiled following the arrests of up to 15 people in Melbourne and Sydney early today, New South Wales Police Commissioner Ken Moroney says.

"I'm satisfied that we have disrupted what I would regard as the final stages of a large scale terrorist attack ... here in Australia," he told ABC radio.

Mr Moroney praised all the officers involved in the investigation. "I congratulate the various law enforcement agencies on a very long and sustained investigation with a very focused outcome," he said.

Mr Moroney said a number of items, including some substances, were seized during the raids. "In some locations these substances are what are believed to be chemicals," he said. He said the chemicals seized were not dangerous on their own "but when combined in combinations of one or more certainly could be highly volatile".

Five of the men held in custody in Sydney were Australian citizens, Mr Moroney said.

Oh yeah, I'm sure the chemicals found were there because, these peace loving folk wanted to start a Jihad against mozzies and sandflies, take that infidel cockroach. Wait for the excuses, wild theories, oil and Jewish conspiracies people.

Meanwhile the chickens have been caught, fire up the barbie, let the grilling begin.

Update -

I'm listening to the snippets coming in on the radio, one of the suspects was shot after shooting at police, and is now in hospital. Some nearby residents have been asked to leave their homes, unconfirmed reports of explosives.

Apparently the suspects have been monitored for a while now by ASIO and knew about it, but continued with their activities anyway, perhaps they thought the weak kneed among us would ensure the authorities would wait till something got blown up, to take some action.

A television news crew was bashed in a brawl outside the Melbourne Magistrates Court today during a break in the hearing for nine men charged after today's anti-terror raids.

There goes my theory that these suspects and their associates were in Australia to bring us cutting edge technology in organic pest control and peaceful posie arranging.
