The Biggie here was in the last article:

"The arrest in Pakistan, also at the urging of the US, of the plot's
alleged mastermind, Birmingham-born Rashid Rauf, led UK police to
bring their own arrests forward. Scotland Yard and MI5 feared if the
UK cell learned of Rauf's arrest they would either try to escape or
rush forward their attack, fearing imminent capture."

According to Rachael Maddow, Cheney was the one who forced the Brits
hands by having the mastermind arrested in Pakistan!  They then had to
arrest those who they could and were implicated!  The Brits were very
mad at Cheney for forcing their hand!  They wanted to continue
survellance until everyone involved could be rounded up!

So, Cheney by his rash actions, may have let terrorist involved here
pull back and regroup for further action!

Situation normal. The US has completely screwed up several
investigations in the UK.

A possibility of a third trial of three other guys on whom the previous two 
juries were hung:
