UNBELIEVABLE – AT 10:25 A.M. ET:  This is happening in Britain right now.  And why not?  Hasn't President Obama told us that the war on terror is over?  From London's Daily Mail:

Seven dangerous Al-Qaeda suspects are to be freed from Government curfews and able to walk the streets within days, it has emerged.

The men, some of whom are suspected of plotting to kill thousands on transatlantic airliners, will no longer be bound by electronic tags or curfew restrictions after the terrorism prevention orders are lifted.

The measures were introduced in 2012 to replace Labour government rules which, according to the Liberal Democrats, undermined the suspects' human rights.

Let's not forget that "liberal Democrats" are part of the current governing coalition in Britain.

However they only last two years unless the government can prove the suspects have engaged in 'new' terrorist-related activity.

Officials say such proof is hard if not impossible to come by as the men, who have not been named, know their behavior is being monitored.

Under the curbs, suspects are required to stay at home for up to 10 hours each night, wear electronic tags and are banned from certain places.

Among the seven due to be freed this month is a would-be suicide bomber known only by his initials, AM.

The Sunday Times reports the 26-year-old was involved in what investigators called 'Operation Overt', a plot to attack flights from London to America in 2006.

Another is, BF, a former train driver who was part of a group of British extremists seeking terrorist training in Pakistan.

Others include a 30-year-old who attended a training camp alongside four of the attempted suicide bombers involved in failed attacks on London in 2005, and a man who was trained by al-Shabaab,

The whereabouts of two suspects is unknown, including that of Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed who cut off his electric tag while visiting a mosque last November.

COMMENT:  As we've said before, there's a Great Britain and a Not-so-great Britain.  This is an example of the latter.  Britain always seems to be on a knife edge, between the forces of freedom and the forces of appeasement.  In the 1930s, appeasement came close to winning.  We may be seeing a repeat, and I don't see Churchill on the horizon.
