counter—terrorism police said that edward little was only ten minutes from buying a gun when he was arrested the old bailey. this was edward little being interviewed by police after his arrest. tell me, is that another reason for choosing that target? - a question that led him to punch the officer in the eye. strike, strike. he'd been arrested five days earlier in south london while on his way to buy a gun. the money, more than £5,000, was on the back seat of the cab he'd taken from brighton. in encrypted phone calls, little had discussed killing a christian activist who criticised islam, shooting soldiers and police officers, and even attacking the queen's funeral. he was intent on carrying out a terrorist attack. the fact that we stopped him within ten minutes of him acquiring the firearm shows just how intense and how dangerous he was. this was the gun he was on his way to buy, through contacts he'd made while in prison for knife and drugs offences. do i look like muhammad? his intended target, hatun tash on the left here, is a christian activist who makes provocative anti—islam speeches

i mean, he actually went to the attorney general of the united states, edward, and he said, can you look at this law and see if it makes sense. it doesn't make sense to me. and bates was not only to look at this law, but also was going to look at this law juxtaposed against every other pension law that the government had established since the foundation of the republic and based not, oh, boy, this is all very confusing saying at times these laws are contradictory. and the attorney general wrote and he recommended that the attention of congress be called to the propriety of enacting laws which may be easily understood and which may compress all that the emergency requires. so the federal government thought it solved the problem. commissioner of pensions and attorney general said not quite. go back to the drawing board. and so over the next year, as the number of battlefield deaths continues to climb and climb and climb along with the additional need for troops to replenish those ranks, pressure on the federal government to do something to make certain that widows and orphans were properly
