I grew up in London when the IRA were leaving

this "throw out rights and laws" nonsense.
And Norway didn't go nuts over the Breivik
attack either.
Oh, and are you aware that Israel backed
Jundullah, which is a Pakistani AlQaeda?
Command of the facts helps avoid embarrassment.
- berntb 14y agoHello again! Do you still believe in Jewish conspiracies controlling media? Or that T-shirts of some individuals prove something about a heterogeneous country -- and are as bad as official policies in another state?! Ah wait, you refused to touch that "logic" of yours in comment after comment... Breivik was an individual crazy/nazi/xxx. There are hardly realistic threats for more attacks in Norway. I argued about fear of terror, not mourning after one attack. (Edit: It is really fun that you condemn Israel for working with unpleasant groups where they have common interests -- all countries with physical threats do similar things -- but previously refused to criticise similar groups.) And so on, sorry but I can't take you seriously.
- refurb 14y agoI'm a little confused. The UK gov't instituted a number of very harsh laws that severely curtailed the rights of UK citizens. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevention_of_Terrorism_Acts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevention_of_Terrorism_Acts "This part allowed for the arrest of individuals without a warrant and on reasonable suspicion that they were guilty of an offence under the Act or otherwise "concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism""
- berntb 14y ago(I don't think you should have too high expectations of facts and logic from ucee054, at least re politics. :-) ) Thanks for the link, I didn't know the name of the law. Also, there were some ... cough ... controversial interrogation methods in the 70s, until there was too much human rights criticism. Anyway, I'm not an expert on the UK and IRA, but believe/assume part of the inspiration for the wonderful T Gilliam movie "Brazil" came from this.
