Is the ring of steel back again?

Doesn't really roll off my tongue. 
Hitler died on Walspurgasnacht (April 30th) - is that significant? There are a million and one parallels that can be drawn...

Hmm, just wondering how many instances of 'specific intelligence' there have been in the last year?
Specific intelligence on a threat to bridges in the US
Specific intelligence on a potential attack on a nuclear power station in the UK
Specific intelligence on an attack on the Hoover Dam in the US
Specific intelligence on an attack on an airport in the UK...
The list seems to go on and on....
Shouldn't someone be sitting the PM on their knee and telling him the story of the little boy who cried wolf...
To me it sounds like that the security and intelligence services are doing their jobs... letting the politicians know what someone said in a pub, what's being bandied around over a camp fire in Palestine or what some intelligence analyst stuck in a box in Cheltenham believes might happen, etc... and the politicians are doing headless chicken impressions

Specific "intelligence" that Iraq has nukes?
