My Comment: This minister's timing and judgment is horrible. Illegal Pakistani immigrants have been caught planning mass murder .... and his response is that it is because of U.S. policy in Pakistan that Pakistanis now want to kill innocent Britains. If Gordon Brown has any sense of decency, he should ask for this minister's resignation.
