Another Metropolitan Police Authority whitewash attempt.

Apparently, the death of Jean Charles de Menezes was not caused by a police 'Shoot to kill' policy, it was caused by terrorism.

In their press release of 3rd September, prior to their meeting on 6th September, Len Duvall, chair of the MPA, says: “The background to the IPCC report is the tragic death of Jean Charles de Menezes. He became the 53rd victim, along with many injured, caused by terrorism in the capital in July 2005."

So are terrorists now relying on our police to fulfill their deadly aims? Also, doesn't this cast considerable doubt on the impartiality of the MPA 'independent statutory body' in its role of allegedly overlooking the work of the MPS?
