One making a comparison between Paul and a prisoner, and the second being comparing a direct threat to the recipient with a light-hearted mock-threat to a third party.<br><br>I have to feel a bit sorry for Ms. Caroline Wiggin. She is on something of a hiding to nothing, although I might now have to choose between the idea that she either believed this was a valid analogy (which would make me question her powers of judging such things) or if she knowingly introduced a misleading one with the aim of using an emotional argument to win a weak case.Steve Jonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682595924476788450.post-25392620215361409632010-09-27T02:09:54.462-07:002010-09-27T02:09:54.462-07:00Mr Terrorist and his fellow comrades no longer nee...Mr Terrorist and his fellow comrades no longer need credible threats or plans to cause mayhem and disruption. They merely have to use their mobile phones in the comfort and security of their chosen abodes although the downside is that they will have to wait for their reward of 70 virgins. Martyrdom by becoming a suicide tweeter is somewhat difficult.<br><br>They do however have the comfort of knowing that sending threatening tweets aimed at numerous targets will be successful as the UK Government, Security Circus and MSM will do the rest of the job for them.<br><br>l keep waiting for the clowns to leave the ring at the circus but it would seem that they have no intention of doing so.
