| Amnesty slams EU anti-terror law | |
| 2005-06-01 | |
BRUSSELS: Amnesty International said Tuesday the European Union has failed to address the issue of human rights protection in its anti-terrorist legislation and urged EU nations not to abuse counter-terrorist laws to quash legitimate protest or dissent. In a report, the human rights group called on the EU to clearly define the term 'terrorist' to avoid legal uncertainty, allow for public scrutiny and judicial supervision of terrorist blacklists and include terrorism cases in the proposed EU-wide guidelines on the treatment of suspects and defendants in criminal proceedings.

| #5 You're right, CF. My apologies to pond scum everywhere. How about this: Terrorists are lower than used whale shit. |

| #4 You've got it backward, folks. This is Amnesty's new fund-raising strategy: the more over the top they get, the more $$$ they raise from thousands of Daily Kos/DU/Deaniac fools. |

#1 failed to address the issue of human rights protection in its anti-terrorist legislationThere's no "human rights" issue to address in anti-terrorist legislation. Terrorists aren't human. They're pond scum. QED. |
