No need for a Jury or a coroner

category international | anti-war / imperialism | opinion/analysis author Sunday February 03, 2008 21:45author by paul o tooleauthor email pauljotoole at eircom dot net Report this post to the editors

be afraid, be very afraid...ha!, ha!

The whole premise of the latest anti terrorism drive is based the fact that Iraq had WMD. They invade without legal cover from their own domestic laws or sanction from the UN and destroy for a second time what was a first world country, but only after it has been disarmed twice. Killing millions by doing so, in a country which they are in the process of bleeding dry of ots oil, which also had never attacked America or the UK.
To day in london it has been revealed from a counter terrorism bill published last month that proposes to...'remove juries from some inquests'. The bill would also allow the home secretary to ..'replace coroners with their own appointees'..
If the UK gets this through, Ireland will follow. Theres little need to expand on where this is leading to. Needless to say that the laws being challenged have been centuries in the making. They are becoming just pieces of meaningless paper. And the slight gap seperating our 'civilised' society from being barbarian is closing...fast. Right before our eyes.
