What happened to the terrorists?

What did happen to the terrorists or rather what I and many intelligent observers thought was the story of the year 2007? The mainstream media wrap ups either don't mention them at all or slide past them with a few words before going on to other events less worthy of our attention. Could it be what John Pilger the world renowned journalist from Australia says that the mainstream media simply ignores, hides or disparages anything they don't want the population to focus on? Is NZ or rather our foreign owned media playing that game too? I suspect so. I just can't believe that the biggest story of the year, indeed almost our 9/11 can be ignored in favour of such ridiculous non-events as the rugby world cup losses, tax cut promises, Bell the muderer and his mate Burton released long enough to commit another murder, Trevors punch-up of Tau, etc. The media, government Ministers and every other red neck are plainly embarrassed by the fact that a few gun toting citizens (there's hundreds in NZ) and some peace promoters who wouldn't touch a gun let alone hide one in the compost, were arrested under our new terrorism laws only to be released on bail because the Solicitor General said there's insufficient evidence. Both media, law makers, and beurocrats have become a danger to the rights and freedoms of the ordinary people and seem heavily influenced by the rich and powerful nations and individuals. This takes globalization to its extremes. We have to hate Muslims, pass terrorism laws, and don jackboots to march lockstep to their imperial future. Our sovereignty is threatened not by Tame Iti and Bin Laden but by the creators of paranoia.
