CCTV for illegal and degrading war

Would CCTV be more effective in a war-zone?
Even though one of the causes of the London bombings has to be the illegal and degrading war on Iraq and Afghanistan.
Real television was effective in identifying hoWARd as one of the war criminals but it wasn't as effective in prosecuting him, nor did it stop the bombings in London and Madrid?
hoWARd says he will consider introducing a similar system on Australia's transport networks.
But it seems no matter what hoWARd does that is wrong he's not going to take any responsibility for it, no matter how wrong it is? He thinks he can mistreat the International community and just back up those misgivings with tighter security and over your dead body.
So do we need to install CCTV in the war-zone next time there is an illegal and degrading war on a sovereign nation state? Will that be more effective in not only identifying the offenders but also prosecuting them as well? Could that also prevent others who have been offended by these illegal and degrading war crimes against humanity from blowing us up on the bus and train at home?
Well prevention is better than cure and if john hoWARd's proposition for one of those security measures is taking a photo with CCTV, after the terrorist has blown people up, most people would say that measure really wasn't very effective at all, especially if their own life depended on it!
But don't worry he may get a photo of the offender so your relatives, friends and colleagues may some day find out who it was that blew you up.
The prime loser's trip to the British capital has been dominated by the bomb attacks.
He says one of the things he has learnt during his visit is how useful modern technology has been in tracking down suspects in this weeks bungled attacks.
"I have been impressed with the apparent value of surveillance cameras, this is something that has hit me very hard is just how effective these cameras have been and how valuable they might be, and they should certainly be considered in the Australian context," he said.
Well those surveillance cameras have spelt it out for the community as well. The community should know how effective they are at taking pictures of bombers before they blow themselves and other innocent people to bits, and how ineffective they can be at prosecuting the real war criminals. Especially if the bombers are dead and the war criminals remain in power and continue to occupy sovereign nations.
So if CCTV or for that matter any TV only 'identifies' and not 'prosecutes' those offenders, who have been identified, and are not dead and those who are war criminals and imperialists that remain in power? If that is case what is the good of it when it comes to preventing terorrism?
Better not to offend the International community or prosecute those identified offenders that are still alive to face the music in relation to their offending behavior.
hoWARd has held several meetings with the Australian team of police and transport officials sent to London after the July 7 attacks but the police he needs to talk are at the Hague.
Australian police should be assisting the International Community by arresting hoWARd and his cronies, charging them with war crimes against humanity and sending them off to the Hague to face the music before other people get blown up for calling for peace and being totally ignored!

But it just underlines criminal acts by fascist governments invading other countries. How can HoWARd claim not to be complacent on the one hand but on the other exploiting the possibility by sending more guerrillas and militants off to war in Afghanistan?

Back to kill the innocent
Labor's well paid losers have backed in principle a deployment to kill what party leader Kim Beazley has called "terrorism central". But who are the terrorists? Who's going where? To do what? And what is war? TERRORISM!
