* The Independent does a story on italian phone bugging:
"Practically every public act in Britain today is recorded by CCTV cameras, but in Italy the ubiquitous form of surveillance is the bugged telephone.
The Eurispes think-tank has revealed that 30 million Italians between the ages of 15 and 70 has been bugged in the past 10 years. Their report says: "Every Italian family" has been touched by the phenomenon, "at least once." And the amount of bugging is increasing at blinding speed."
they forgot to mention that certain events arent recorded in britain - such as blowing up a bus. or shooting innocent people.
* "The Home Secretary set out a series of "unacceptable behaviours" yesterday that would be used to exclude foreign extremists from Britain and remove those already in the country. They include "fomenting, justifying or glorifying" terrorism, although he has dropped an earlier proposal to outlaw views "the Government considers to be extreme and that conflict with the UK's culture of tolerance"." (link)
have they defined terrorism? or justifying? or glorifying? is it a crime to try to understand terrorism? or to try to explain it? or are trying to understand and explaining the same as justifying it? is it ok to advocate for war against iran? i betchya it is.
* "A senior UN representative last night threatened to cite the British government for violation of human rights over its planned deportations of alleged terrorist sympathisers. .. (Clarke responded) "I wish the UN would look at human rights in the round, rather than simply focusing all the time on the terrorist."" (link)
note that one - people who justify terrorism are terrorists
* "One of the alleged bombers involved in the July 21 attacks married in a north London mosque five days before the failed bombings." (link)
