Karl Rove Behind British Terror Arrest

Mary Katherine Ham points to the latest conspiracy theory: Karl Rove planned the British terrorist arrests so that media attention will be diverted from the Ned Lamont primary victory in Connecticut.

The Republican administration responded to the thwarting of an "imminent" and "massive" terror attack on trans-Atlantic flights with a Code Red security alert because a Democrat incumbent lost in a Connecticut Senate primary.(emphasis in original)

Ham goes on to quote from AmericaBlog.com Does the left see a Rovian bogeyman behind the 24 hour news cycle? I am so sure that Tony Blair, Scotland Yard, MI-5, south Asian intelligence agencies, the CIA and everyone else invovled in breaking the terrorist threat is so concerned about Ned Lamont winning that they broke the story today just to ruin his victory lap. Do they really care about some anti-war rich kid winning that they will do or say anthing to justify breaking up his news cycle? Does the Administration really care so much that they will inconvenience several million air travelers across that nation, of both parties, just to prevent publicity for a Democratic nominee for a Connecticut Senate race?

As Michelle Malkin likes to say, Bush Derangment Syndrome indeed.
