has this been discussed here??? London attacks/incidents are to

scare US but not look like W isn't protecting us????

and why so many 'incidents' in so short a time in London???

many of the suspects were apparently born in and grew up in England??? will this 'legitimize' in England racial profiling and tracking of citizens and some curtailment of civil rights????

I'm hearing that this legitimizes in US racial profiling and close observation of all Muslims and especially ME males

For a while threads on this subject matter were shut down. Not sure if that's still the case.

Blair's basically saying, it's important that we have an independent judiciary which independently comes to the conclusion to bow to public and political pressure.

3. I heard someone touting on TV the other day

that what England needs is a Patriot Act just like the US. Maybe something that * and Blair cooked up so he can get more control over "matters".

4. Remember? Is it Echelon? To avoid laws, the U.K. spies on US and

US spies on the UK. Data is exchanged.
