John Howard is a cretin. He said the following about the "Ashes threat" on the radio:

So basically, Howard is saying "while I'll rationally point out that this is probably all a load of nonsense, I'll throw in a little reminder for you all to stay scared of the terrorist boogeyman."

I don't know that I'd describe that as cretinous so much as opportunistic.

Now I'm not a scientist, but according to the paper and the article I read, that sarim gas is a very dangerous thing and would be very hard to handle and make.

Our resident science expert/s will explain more if they wish to.

Its a lot more difficult to produce and effectively deliver than a homemade bomb - as is evidenced by the number of homemade bombs that go off around the world every week compared to the number of sarin gas attacks.

It's not the fact that Al Q could do it, they possibly could, it's the nonsense about terrorists being allowed to change target "because they like cricket" that is making this story hold a sieve full of water.

I'm slightly chuffed they would even know or even care about cricket.

If they wanted a target then any major football stadium in the UK (ie Anfield, Old Trafford, Emirates Stadium, White **** Lane [sorry], St James, and in Scotland places like Parkhead and Ibrox) would do. Me and my friend who went to OT (the football one) last year for ManU v Chavski and was surprised how easy it was, I meany terrorist could strap a bomb to themselves and walk in and press a button to set it off.
