From the Sunday Times there in Britain comes
this:
Police to brief Muslims before terror raids
Abul Taher
POLICE have agreed to consult a panel of Muslim leaders before mounting counter-terrorist raids or arrests. Members of the panel will offer their assessment of whether information police have on a suspect is too flimsy and will also consider the consequences on community relations of a raid.
Members will be security vetted and will have to promise not to reveal any intelligence they are shown. They will not have to sign the Official Secrets Act.
Andrew Stuttaford
writes in National Review Online:
From a security point of view this move looks foolish, to say the least, but, worse than that, it appears to be conceding some sort of special status to Muslim Britons. The Balkanization of Britain continues rapidly apace, it appears, and with the Blair government’s approval. How sad. [Emphasis added]
The world is being held hostage ... willingly, it appears. As Stuttaford writes, "How sad."
