NYTIMES / SARAH LYALL:
LONDON, July 26 - Britain moved closer today to introducing stricter anti-terrorism laws when the three main political parties agreed in principle on new legislation for Parliament to consider in the fall. At his monthly news conference, Prime Minister Tony Blair said that the opposition Tory and Liberal Democrat parties had come together with the Labor Government for a "cross-party consensus" over the new plans. The three parties have often been at odds over how far anti-terrorism legislation should go, and that an agreement is emerging now reflects how much the mood of the country, and of Parliament, has changed since the July 7 suicide bombings in the subway and on a bus. "When the main political parties present a united front, then it sends an important signal to the terrorists of our strength and our determination and our unity to defeat them," Mr. Blair said.

I hope that the non-partisan unity lasts a bit longer there than it did here!

You guys are behind the news, there is no more "War on Terrot", now we have a "global struggle against violent extremists", you need to read the memos form the White House if you want to kiss Bush's ass.
