No not Tony but the former Metropolitan Police Commissioner.
This is absolutely gorgeous
A new menace faces us!
Even more scary with sprinkles on top!
"new threat which is not of somebody personally intending to aid terrorism, but of conduct which is likely to or capable of facilitating terrorism"
I suppose that includes any of us wanting to rationalize the global surveillance system?
"I think there is going to have to be a look at what happens when somebody possesses material which is secret without having authority."
I bought the newspaper today...oh boy.
We need to destroy investigative journalism is what he really saying, nobody must interfere with government.
Next up
"I think there is going to have to be a look at what happens when somebody has read material which is secret without having authority"
Then
"I think there is going to have to be a look at what happens when somebody has even thought without having authority"
Goddammit, the government must give you permission!
The whiff of authoritarianism is in the air, you do not need the intention of aiding the enemy but merely the potential of aiding the enemy to be detained.
Nice.
Gosh the world was so disorganized before 9-11, however did government function?
More laws, more detention, it only makes sense. The people are goddamned dangerous, this must not be allowed to continue.
Sigh.
Now tell me what the government believes is secret.
Now tell me what government considers as material likely to aid the enemy.
Yep.
You are not allowed to know that.
Secret laws, secret courts, wonderful.
You have been detained, but we cannot tell you why.
