Indeed, I find it hard to accept how blatant it all is, but with seemingly little public out rage. The abuse of anti terror laws to harass people who merely embarrass a so called democratic government is truly corrupt.

I mean, the police are being now asked why he was stopped under anti-terror laws, and they will abide by those self serving laws themselves by saying that they cant say why because its all top secret. Does any one really think the police will say, "we were asked to shake the guy down by the Hone Office, on behalf of Obama?" No, we'll just get the usual slight of language designed to let these people slither away. And most people will just accept it and move on.

What pains me most is that I think I find the lack of public interest singularly the most worrying aspect of this whole thing. No one really cares that much at all.

And then I think: well, if the majority want to sleep walk in to a future like and probably worse than this, well, fine. Just means an increase in hacker types buying "I told you so" t-shirts in a few years time. Oh, and a lot of pain for those caught up in the mean time. But who cares about those "terrorists", "pedophiles", "traitors", and "pirates" any way?

I dunno. I find it most frustrating.
