Interrogating British 'Security' Policies

Why did the 7/7 terrorist attack happen?

Like the 11 September 2001 attack, was this a 'blowback' effect of government policy?

What is being protected by British 'security' policies? What alternative policies could protect us?

Committee Room 3, House of Lords, Westminster, SW1

International of Torture: The Documents the Crown Would Like to Censor

12-07-2006 01:36

The United Kingdom Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has forbidden Craig Murray to publish documents he obtained under the Freedom of Information Act and Freedom of Data Act, which clearly show the responsibility of the Crown in the International of torture. Having not dared resorting to military censorship, the Blair government has claimed copyright on the official documents in order to block their publication. This manoeuver is of course a breach of the international commitments of the United Kingdom of Great-Brittain and Northern Ireland. Indeed, Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights and jurisprudence of the Strasbourg Court of Justice state that freedom of speech prevails on any other consideration and cannot be restrained by State imperatives. By bringing its support to Ambassador Murray, the Voltaire Network has decided to bypass censorship of Her Majesty and publish the documents. It calls for all other information websites to do the same.

Plan to attack New York tunnels: Yet another dubious "terror plot"

09-07-2006 12:13

New Yorkers awoke Friday morning to lurid headlines in the New York Daily News proclaiming that a “Tunnel Bomb Plot” had been foiled. That afternoon, Federal Bureau of Investigation Assistant Director Mark Mershon, flanked by Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, told a press conference that the FBI had disrupted a plan to carry out suicide bombings in the PATH train tunnels that carry hundreds of thousands of commuters between Manhattan and New Jersey.

Review of Milan Rai's "7/7" (London Bombings)

07-07-2006 06:35

Below is a book review of Milan Rai's new book, "7/7: The London Bombings, Islam and the Iraq War". The article juxtaposes 7/7 with 9/11, in part because I am an American writer-journalist living in England, but mostly because both Americans and Britons are demanding answers to legitimate, unanswered questions which their governments have tried to obscure.

The piece is available with hypertext links via my iNoodle.com blog:

Manufacturing “terror” as a means of intimidation

28-06-2006 12:54

Following is an article from wsws.org which exposes the terrorist threat in the USA to be a government organised fraud — in all the terror cases the article discusses the key organiser of the plots has been a government agent.

There is also ample evidence to suggest that this is also the case in the UK, see for example these articles from The Times, Al-Qaeda cleric exposed as an MI5 double agent, Police tracking bug found in 7/7 mastermind’s car and 7/7 ringleader was under CIA surveillance.

A dangerous precedent: Australian man convicted of “preparing terrorism”

21-06-2006 05:17

Since 2001, the government has seized upon the “war” declared by US President George Bush for both domestic and international purposes. Under the guise of combating terrorism it has participated in the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, diverted attention from mounting economic and social problems at home and legitimised previously unthinkable police state-style measures, including semi-secret trials, “preventative” detention and the ability to impose life sentences without any evidence of an actual terrorist act.

War On Terror Act 4 Scene 3: Terrorism Act-Fear Creation

15-06-2006 06:41

There was an article on Guardian unlimited by someone called leader, on the police raid and shooting of a young Muslim, which, now appearing to have been based on flimsy intelligence is yet another diesel soaked rag to the anti-western fire burning throughout the Islamic world. The article titled Intelligence needed, which can be read here prompted me to share my views on the matter.

Terror network is a myth

14-06-2006 21:26

A great article, although it should be pointed out that the Extremists behind the Bush Regime already had plans for these military adventures before 911 (www.newamericancentury.org), and an attack on Afghanistan was already in the staging. The Taliban had offered to hand Bin Laden (who, as a CIA asset, was known as Tim Osman) over, but the US ignored this.

Also, the Government's Conspiracy Theories about the attacks on NY, DC, and London remain, to this day, unproven and uninvestigated. Another issue we're supposed to "take on faith" ...

Lessons of the Forest Gate anti-terror raid

13-06-2006 14:57

The freeing of two innocent men arrested in the June 2 police raid in Forest Gate, London underscores the dubious character of all of the claims made by the government, the police and security services in pursuit of the “war on terror.”

Some 250 police officers were mobilised for the dawn raid on the poor immigrant neighbourhood in east London. Two houses were targeted based on intelligence that they were the location for a chemical bomb factory run by two brothers, Mohammed Abdul Kahar and Abdul Koyair.
