Police Chief Bob Quick Resigns - UK's most senior counter-terror officer resigns because of stupidity!

Assistant Commissioner Bob Quick, Britain's most senior anti-terrorist policeman has resigned after walking into Downing Street carrying papers detailing 'Pathway', an undercover operation to arrest al-Qaeda suspects planning a major terrorist attacks in the UK.

As a result the raids were brought forward and 12 people were arrested last night.

Lets hope the operation (and the safety of the officers involved) was not compromised for the sake of an envelope!
