Fighting ‘terror’ with terror?
rs | 20.01.2009 18:02
A report in today’s Greek conservative newspaper, Kathimerini, calls on the Greek government to enlist the help of foreign police and intelligence agencies to help combat the growing threat to the established capitalist system posed by a resurgence of armed resistance movements, such as Revolutionary Struggle.
The report calls for the conservative Greek government to take “swift action to prevent any further damage”, and for the curtailment of safe guards, which it calls “the altar of red tape”, to allow so-called ‘anti-terrorism officials’ to be more effective.
If adopted, the move would mark a dangerous further lurch to the right by the Greek government. The move would likely result in a massive groundswell of support for urban guerrilla movements, which have seen a resurgence over the past several years.
US and British intelligence agencies would be likely candidates for Greece to call on, both countries have recently placed pressure on Greek authorities for their lack of progress in apprehending members of Revolutionary Struggle.
Both the CIA and MI6 have well-documented histories of interference in the internal affairs of other nations. Any move by the Greek government to enlist the help of these agencies is likely to result in disastrous consequences for Greek citizens.

Greece’s image abroad has been hit by the re-emergence of local terrorist groups and the spectacular rise in crime."
Erm, is that compounded by the fact that the Greek people have lost 'faith' in their police? Where a Greek MPs daughter is scared to ask the police questions? Or is the Kathimerini the local equivalent of the neofascist Daily Mail?
"The country’s economy, which is largely dependent on the tourism industry, would be the first casualty of this – and, more alarming, at a time that financial meltdown is sweeping markets across the globe."
No word of the 700 Euro generation, thank the heavens, and church leaders!
"The conservative government must take swift action to prevent any further damage.
The first thing Greece must do is to mobilize its foreign partners."
I agree! Regime change now! Any state that deals with the illegitimate Greek regime needs to be challenged, like the Israeli regime
"Greek authorities need all the help and know-how they can get from the police and intelligence services of other countries."
In all likelihood, the first lesson the police can learn is in basic human rights understanding and issues, then maybe they wont attack migrants, murder citizens and steal.
At the same time, the government must take deft diplomatic action to minimize the international impact of wrongdoing at home. Greece must request the help of its foreign partners on public safety issues. But for that to happen, the prime minister must first put the right people in the right places, as happened before and during the Athens Olympic Games in 2004.
The country has invested a lot in the training of anti-terrorism officials and it cannot afford to sacrifice this capital on the altar of red tape and political expediency."
