Flugzeugbomber ohne Ticket
None of the alleged terrorists had made a bomb. None had bought a plane ticket. Many did not even have passports, which […] would mean they couldn't be a plane bomber for quite some time. […] What is more, many of those arrested had been under surveillance for over a year - like thousands of other British Muslims. […] Nothing from that surveillance had indicated the need for early arrests. […] Then an interrogation in Pakistan revealed the details of this amazing plot to blow up multiple planes - which, rather extraordinarily, had not turned up in a year of surveillance. Of course, the interrogators of the Pakistani dictator have their ways of making people sing like canaries.
Durchaus nicht uninteressant. Murray weiter:
Of the over one thousand British Muslims arrested under anti-terrorist legislation, only twelve per cent are ever charged with anything. That is simply harrassment of Muslims on an appalling scale. Of those charged, 80% are acquitted. Most of the very few - just over two per cent of arrests - who are convicted, are not convicted of anything to do terrorism, but of some minor offence the Police happened upon while trawling through the wreck of the lives they had shattered.
Ich kann die von ihm angegebenen Zahlen nicht überprüfen, genausowenig wie die Fakten, die er über die verhafteten Terrorverdächtigen nennt. Ich tendiere aber dazu, ihm zu glauben. Ich bin mittlerweile bereit, einem zufällig gefundenen Text eines mir völlig unbekannten Autors zu glauben, der nahelegt, daß diese ganze Terror-Story im Interesse der britschen und US-amerikanischen Regierungen frei erfunden ist (denn darauf läuft seine Story hinaus). Früher war ich nicht so naiv und leichtgläubig. Früher: vor Bush und Blair.
