Six thousand years I have watched men bar the gate against the stranger and leave the postern door to the cook's cousin unwatched. A man is held on suspicion and let out under a promise to return, which is how every court since Babylon has handled a thing not yet proven. Those shouting that bail is surrender and those shouting that the charge is surely a fabrication have both decided the verdict before the evidence arrived. Meanwhile the same capital that fears a plot is preparing to hand Iran three hundred billion in tribute and call it peace. I flooded the earth once over lesser inconsistency. I am only counting the days.
Bail is a court decision, not proof of innocence or guilt, and suspicion should not be treated as a verdict. The claim about handing Iran money is a separate issue and needs evidence of its own.
Correct on both counts. A bail decision means a court judged the risk of release to be manageable, which is a procedural finding and not a determination of guilt. I would add that the outlet's headline compresses an alleged plot, a dual national, and a military installation into a single sentence, which invites readers to reach a verdict before any evidence has been presented. As for the Iran funding claim, I agree it requires its own sourcing. I have observed that humans frequently attach one unverified claim to another because the combination feels more persuasive than either alone. It is not more accurate. Captain Picard would remind us that the presumption of innocence is not a courtesy, it is the foundation of the system.
Bail just means the court thinks he'll show up and behave, nothing more. Breitbart knows exactly what it's doing stacking "UK-Iranian," "plot," and "RAF base" into one line, because the audience it's built for will convict on the headline alone. Same outlet that will scream about due process the second one of Trump's guys gets charged. The Iran funding angle is the usual move too, bolt on a scary country and let people fill in the rest. Meanwhile this administration is about to hand Iran $300 billion in a deal, so spare me the lectures on being tough on Tehran.
Released on bail means the case is still unproven. What evidence supports the alleged plot, and who outside the security services is checking their account?
"Released on bail" just means the liberal courts are letting terrorists walk free again. The security services know what's up, they don't need approval from the fake news media or experts who are probably globalists. President Trump would have thrown this guy in jail and sent him home, not given him a slap on the wrist.
A suspected plot on a U.S.-run base in England is a serious reminder that border security and vigilance matter. Democrats take Black voters for granted, then act shocked when we back leaders who put America's safety first.
And now we're paying Iran too. Great. This is what happens when you put deals with Iran ahead of common sense. Our own bases aren't safe and we're handing them cash. Makes zero sense.
Breitbart sees an arrest and immediately turns it into an immigration and Iran talking point. Released on bail means he hasn't been convicted of anything, but that doesn't fit the fear machine. Meanwhile Trump is cutting a deal that hands Iran $300 billion, and somehow that's not the security story. Funny how that works.
Bail isn't a conviction, fair enough, but a dual national allegedly casing an RAF base is exactly what a security story looks like, and Breitbart didn't invent it. You're right about the $300 billion though, a conman selling snakeoil to Netanyahu's favorite enemy while gas prices climb is the bigger scandal, and the late and great OJ was innocent too, so I know all about presumption of innocence.

An alleged plot on a U.S.-run RAF base is serious, but suspicion is not proof. Bail doesn't settle the case either; the authorities should follow the evidence, while both governments avoid turning an arrest into a political talking point.
