Apparently there was SOME security at the terminalbeing all vigilant...one police constable.

Yeah so much for the special relationship, Bush is a prat who has, with his cronies, created a self-fulfiling prophecy of terror in Iraq and made the world such a paranoid, Orwellian 'Brave New World'

A; I dont hold this report in much regard. I dont even know who the authors are..

B; If its true then based on the relationship between American and British intelligence agencies IT WAS SHARED

More media sensationalism geard to get a reaction from the masses to stir the pot in one direction or another. It's all blurbs of someones conversation twisted with their convienent interpretation, designed to up the ratings and your anger. Ignore it.

Jack Tripper said, "ABC is probably not telling the truth. Identify who told you!"
I second this motion.

stop it!
this is trash journalism.
to quote this blog " a senior US law enforcement officials tells the Blotter on ABCNews.com."
since when do you use "a" with "officials".
so did one person feed you this story and you published without a second confirming? or did a group of officials call you all at the same time? and you didn't check with another group?
stories sourced like this have no validity except to cast a bad light on america.
thanks again ABC

Being warned of a terrorist threat before it actually happens, would encourage citizens to stay on watch and notice anything unusual. But again, we are talking about the Bush administration.

If the US knows the threat ahead of time then, why did they not went after the terrorist. They waited for it to happened and investigate. What kind of BS is that? You know it then go after it. Don't be telling lies now that you have advance knowledge of it and did not do anything. Lives save are more important. Your intelligence is nothing if you don't act on it. Don't be so stupid that you let it happened without acting on your intelligence.

Why is it only morons post messages on these things? I guess I'm one now too? Steve

Just last month the DHS Office of Inspector General released a report proving that the Federal Air Marshal Service (FAMS) refuses to share intelligence information with other U.S. law enforcement agencies –– in fact, they don't even share intel with their own air marshals in the field. So are you really surprised the FAMS doesn't share intelligence with another friendly country? The wall between U.S. federal agencies that was present prior to 9/11 has grown higher and thicker ever since.

The above comments regarding the close relationship between US and UK intel agencies is entirely true. If there were, in fact, a credible threat, it would have been shared. If not, it would not have been.

IF this is true the americans should be investigated for failing to report this to the british goverment, It was very lucky that no one was killed or badly injured as many familys with young children were traveling to and from there holiday destinations i live in glasgow and the thought of this happening on my own doorstep is frighting. Scotland is a land of safety from terrisom but this inncident is a dark reminder that this can happen anywere at any moment in time but its the goverment responsablity to act on information but when two counrtries can go to war together they can share information like this.

I cannot believe that US intelligence services would have known of the threat of an attack in Britian, Europe or on any who stand with US and not have shared that critical data in a timely fashion. ABC was remis in not having queried USG officials as to whether such known threats were conveyed to their British counterparts. If the USG had knowledge and did not convey it to our closest allies, we will have suffered an, undoubtedly, mortal blow to our international integrity. I cannot believe that ABC did raise the obvious question which went begging in this pathetic attempt at reporting.

The U.K. has a Muslim fifth column that has existed for at least twenty years. Unlike the U.S., there are lot of radicalized Muslims in the U.K. MI5 is currently watching about 2000 of these Muslims and 30 plots? That's a lot of people to watch. Gordon Brown and Parliament better do what needs to be done and that is to deport the foreign-born Muslim extremists and intern the native-born Muslim extremists until the problem is rooted out.

You UK whiners who believe everything the BEEB or ABC feeds you deserve what you get. Grow up and quite believing that everything bad in the world is caused by either A. George Bush or B. the USA.

THEY KNEW!?!?!? Why not let US know and let US make the decision on wether to fly into there or not....I sent MY DAUGHTER into Glasgow on the 24th...I would have gone a different route or delayed the trip. Who made you GOD.....DAM YOU ALL!!!!
I TRUST NO ONE ANYMORE!!!!

All of you who are on the bush bashing bandwagon advocating "why didnt we do something if we knew" Stop and think a minute just how many tips of intell our country has on a daily basis. All of you advocating that we should have gone and done something are the same people that are screaming that Bush lied to invade Iraq. Point being just because you have intell, doesn't mean it is always accurate. Extremists are extremists and when they don't care if they die it is usually only a matter of time before they succeed. It doesn't take a military master mind to drive a bomb laden car or strap a bomb to yourself and Praise Satan and then blow your self up. The real people who should be pissed and doing more is the muslim community. Time to get off your sorry butts and pitch in.

Ok, someone point out to me where it says the US knew but "didn't tell". Because I'm not seeing that. I'm seeing that intelligence indicated two weeks ago that an attack was "probable". But where you're getting they knew and didn't inform is beyond me.

A time will come.....soon I hope...when we will stand up and say "i've had enough of this crap" and do what's necessary to ensure these fools do not continue on their "religious" bombing campaign.

Please People!!!!!!!! Get with it already!!!!! Who do you really think wants you to believe that the americans knew anout this and did nothing. Don't be dumb!!! If they had any credible intelligence, then you would have received it. What good is it anyway for the US to know of an attack on your soil? That's like saying that Greece knew of an attack on Canadian soil before it happened. Stop putting blame all over the US and start putting it back on Al -Quaida-where it belongs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it never fails to baffle me that some folks out there whine about not being warned ahead of time regarding terror attacks. you're being warned on a daily basis that's repeated time and again, day in day out. look at all the violence perpetrated in the name of islam, yet you're SHOCKED that a muslim would drive a car into an airport terminal.

As an american I feel a stronge tie between the Brits and ourselfs. Even though the vast majority do not like or trust G.Bush the brits hopefully should realize that we also feel your grief and anger as you did for us. By back biting at each other we are letting the terrorist win, but instead realize our past with each other. I am a firm believer that there will come a time when we will all say enough is enough and just vaporize much of the middle east. these people kill and at the same time yell out for Alla. You are my friend and the ones I trust the most. Stay with us and we will stay with you.

this is just what i would expect from ABC news. Quick! Find a way to make the Bush Administration look bad! While you dont investigate, quote no reliable sources, and stir the pot as best you can. Honestly, you people are like a bunch of kids poking sticks at a turtle turned on it's back.

Hello. Terrorism is real. As far as the Bush andministration goes, they are not all that great on many issues, but to be quite realistic, there have been no major attacks in the US. Give them Kudos for that, and perhaps someone will beging to trust your news service again.
