Until the left and anarchist fringe accept and seek to expose the New World Order this kind of atrocity will still go on. the authorities know they can do what they want in defence of 'democracy'. Time for the Pilger, Monbiot,Galloway types to break out of the old world paradigm acceptance of official news and see what's going on
