Commuters being evacuated through a tunnel near Kings Cross tube station after a coordinated terrorist attack on London’s transport system.

1. Why was there no “closing” of mass transit following the first blast? Look at the time differential between the first and third/fourth explosions. This is particularly curious, considering that Israelis, apparently, had prior warnings of imminent attacks (plural).

2. Should Bono put on a London Underground Concert — the largest ever — with or without Geldorf?

3. What exactly would “the public” (or anyone else, for that matter) DO…if it could be proved — as definitively as some of the sensitive WMD revelations — that someone other than “the enemy” was responsible for the blasts?

4. Does anyone need any more “proof” than watching Homeland Security Head Chertoff’s immediate response to the horror…to know that we are totally insecure, and will remain so, as long as something fundamental is not addressed? Mike talked…colors.

5. Is it true that The Powers are talking about switching the Olympics to Paris now, now that London seems so insecure?

6. What might have been the difference…in the response…if Moscow, New York, Rome, Cairo and Los Gatos, California had been hit simultaneously?
