Anytime the US govt starts talking about terror scares, it makes me wonder what new measures it wants to psychologically bully the population into accepting.

I read the Sunday Times the other day, claiming that Iran was trying to organise the smuggling of uranium out of Congo, but the effort was thwarted in Tanzania by customs, who were told to 'hush it up'. Iran angrily denied this, saying they had sources of uranium within Iran already and didn't need to import it. Now it would be easy to dismiss Iran's reaction, but far more importantly, the Congolese government also said there wasn't any truth in it, but their comments were nowhere to be found a day or two after they appeared on Yahoos news service.
I had a sense of deja vu - wasn't this one of the same excuses for invading Iraq (that it was importing yellow cake uranium ore from, I think, Nigeria)? It doesn't say much for the British and US governments' disdain for the credibility of people, that they are wheeling out the same old off-the-shelf fake excuses. Expect an invasion of Iran sometime soon, all as part of the plan for a new American Century.
