Intelligence and Security Committee Report - May 2009 - Summary of Significant Points

• Claims to provide new information previously not uncovered due to a lack of proper investigation
• Reports a number of occasions when Khan and Tanweer could have been identified
• Describes utterly inane situations where identification of Khan and Tanweer was inconceivably missed
• Continually echoes the same excuse, that Khan and Tanweer were apparently not perceived as a significant enough threat to warrant surveillance, even though they were reportedly hanging out with men recognised as potential terrorists whilst discussing terrorist actions
• Reveals numerous evidential connections that were made after 7/7, but do not account for why these connections were not made before the bombings.
• Provides a number of apparently suspicious phone records, but does not provide any evidence to confirm their significance
• Reports identification found at bomb sites, but gives no details of recovery
• Suggests that evidence has been confused due to the misspelling of Mohammed Siddique Khan
• Addresses warnings from abroad as of no real significance
• Denies MI5 failed to pass on critical information to police
• Reports unsubstantiated links to terrorist training
• Writes off the exercises coinciding with the attacks as coincidence
• Attempts to nullify links to Haroon Aswat and Al Muhajiroun whilst providing no evidence
• Attempts to justify the increase in power and financial resources for the intelligence services by suggesting 7/7 errors will not happen again
• Does not clarify whether they are now sure the alleged bombers actually detonated the devices
• No comments on explosives, 18 Alexandra Grove, contradictory witness reports, the distinct lack of witnesses, the so called confession videos, the DNA and forensic evidence, the bus cameras non-operation, the cctv inconsistencies regarding the official timeline, the reasonable speculation that MSK was an informant, the many unfounded media reports or the continuing efforts to uncover a support network.
