The Best Ways to Beat Terror

Open societies will have to get used to some invasions of privacy. We
need pre-emption but against individuals more than states

April 12 issue - Last week the British government foiled what it
believed was the largest terrorist plot ever in that country. Police
arrested eight men, and seized half a ton of ammonium nitrate, enough
for an explosive five times as powerful as the Bali bombs that killed
200 people. The most striking aspect of the episode, however, is that
the authorities see no involvement by Al Qaeda. In fact, not one of
the suspects is foreign-born or had spent any time in the Afghan
training camps. These are British, middle-class Muslim suburbanites
who the authorities say became terrorists.
