Twelve men have been arrested in the north west of England after Britain’s most senior counter-terrorism police officer sparked a security alert.
Assistant Commissioner Bob Quick said he “deeply regretted” revealing a secret document to photographers when he arrived for a briefing at No 10. The document, clearly marked “secret”, carried an outline briefing on an ongoing counter-terrorism operation.
The 12 suspects were later arrested at locations across north-west England.
Opposition MPs criticised Mr Quick, with the Liberal Democrats describing him as “accident prone” and the Conservatives condemning his “very alarming” lapse of judgement.
But former Labour Mayor of London Ken Livingstone said it would be wrong for such an experienced officer to resign “for holding a piece of paper the wrong way”.
I don’t agree. He probably knows the right way to hold his toilet paper. Learned at an early age, I hope.
UPDATE: He resigned, this morning.

… the same way the Republicans held our Constitution during the Bush administration.
This was a set up. To trick the Terrorists into thinking something else.
Personality may be right….lets see where he lands in the government after this.He could just be a fuck up.
#1 I don’t see O’s administration relaxing any Patriot Act provisions that effect USAians. In fact he is increasing them.
Hey you! Get a briefcase!
Hey I thought the War on Terror was a joke, thought up by the Bush Admin? Isn’t anyone going to complain about these random people rounded up for the sake of boosting politicians?

Mikey, Mikey, Mikey, when are you going to learn to read the effen story. This is not Bush, although they might have gotten their inspiration from him. This is Britain. A Nation comprised of three states and a province.
Maybe this guy just wanted a British version of the Colorado license plate.
The “Global War on Terror” is a joke and it is managed by clowns.
#2+#3: u guys have to be kidding, terroists dont exist. i think #9 gets it.
the reason they did this was so they could name most of the ‘terroists’ as pakistanis to justify expanding the war in the middle east.
