Meticulous research

The Advertiser: Suburban boy bombers
London death squad
from respectable homes :

"Shocked friends and neighbours said the suspects were ordinary youths, more interested in sport than politics. 'He was a sweet guy who gets on with everyone,' 'sound as a pound' were some of the descriptions of one of the suspects, a 22-year-old sports science graduate who occasionally helped out in his father's fast food shop in Leeds."

I have to say I have been amazed by the laborious, painstaking, meticulous approach which has been followed in Britain to get to the bottom of the London bombings. It has turned up results, albeit ones which have been alluded to, but not really expected. There has been a thoroughness which is uncovering a remarkable picture, as unpalatable as it might be. They said they would not be terrorised and they would not live in fear. Their methods are indicative of people who are not afraid of the truth even though they might not like it. I am sitting here wondering how nice Pakistani boys wound up in something as horrifying as this and were prepared to do something like that one Thursday morning in July. When three of the four targets were apparently Muslim areas it all seems unthinkable and yet, the meticulous approach is piecing together a puzzle picture. Painful and fascinating all at once, but worse because of the belief more people will suffer and this is not the end.
