Gaggle of protection for the elite
This is a copy of a letter sent to ABC online this morning in response to their 'current affairs' programme "Insiders". It reads, in part, as follows: "On your webpage you declare "Insiders" is a, "fast-moving treatment of national affairs".

The story of terrorism is written by the state and it is therefore highly instructive.
