secret policy of targeting young Brazilians

* "Sir Ian Blair, Britain's most senior police officer, has admitted he did not know his officers had killed an innocent man until a day after Jean Charles de Menezes was shot dead at Stockwell Tube station." (link)
presumably the fact that there were no bombs on his body would have been immediately apparent

* i saw this headline in the Independent "Revealed: the Home Office's secret policy of targeting young Brazilians" and thought it was going to be a sick parody of sorts. i was wrong: "The report... was posted on the Home Office website but went almost unnoticed because it appeared in the same week as the first London bomb attacks." (link)
i hope they arent fucking lying to me again. it didnt warrant a press release on their site. and i cant find it in a search on their site
