About Those British (?) Doctors…

Bash a couple stories together and you come up with interesting results.
Captain Ed, this morning says

What are the causes of terrorism? Many would have them as poverty, a lack of education, and little exposure to Western values. It’s rather interesting, then, that two of the five terror suspects rounded up by the UK in the wake of three mostly failed attacks are doctors working in their National Health System

So, over at the Corner,along comes Mark Steyn, who says:

Now that Dr Mohammed Asha has been arrested in the Glasgow/London terrorist investigation, several readers have noticed that this artfully combines Michael Moore’s two most recent enthusiasms, “insurgents” and socialized health care:

The doctors who have risen up against the illegitimate government of the United Kingdom are not “insurgents” or “terrorists” or “The Enemy.” They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow.

Oh, come on, be fair. Mr Moore has yet to call these medico-jihadists “Minutemen”. And, in fact, given the waiting lists at British hospitals, they’re more like Eighteenmonthmen.

Well, yes, and no.

Actually, the statement he made about the minutemen was all inclusive, and was intended, apparently, to include such people as we solve the weekend in their Jeep.  But all of this does make an interesting tie in to his recent ranting about Healthcare, and extolling the virtues of government health care.

One really must wonder, though, forgetting the aspect of praise from the Great Rotundo for the moment, whether or not he would interview these doctors on the glories of socialized health care, since they had to put up with it for a few years, preparatory to their attack.  And should we point out, that with their arrests, the waiting lists in British hospitals just got longer?

And should we seriously trust their work?  Ed makes a great point, when he says about the two doctors arrested:

The British may want to check on their work in the hospital system, too. It seems like terrorists who really wanted to frighten Brits would have a field day by killing patients with just enough plausibility towards seeming like natural deaths. It certainly will give patients a new reason to feel uncomfortable about going to hospital.

Correct.  But more; should concern that be limited to these two? seems to me the definition of a sleeper cell is that you don’t know who the members are.  You don’t know what their activities are.   I share Ed’s questioning:the

I wonder what Michael Moore would make of this?

Likely, he will discounted and ignored as much as possible, since it runs afoul of both his pro-socialist, and anti-war narratives.
