A VIRTUAL "SECURITY FENCE" FOR BRITAIN?

PA Seeks UN Condemnation of Israel's Security Fence
Palestinian Foreign Minister Nasser al-Kidwa is trying to get the UN to renew its condemnation of Israel's separation fence, and is considering requesting either an emergency General Assembly session or a Security Council meeting to discuss the matter, UN sources said. European countries led by France and Russia oppose the idea, arguing that the eve of Israel's withdrawal from Gaza is the worst possible time for such an initiative. America also opposes it, for the same reason, the sources said, as do some Arab countries. (Ha'aretz)

I WONDER WHAT THE BRITISH WILL SAY NOW, AFTER 7/7? HOPEFULLY, THEY WON'T BE HYPOCRITES.

British Seek New Laws to Confront Terror - Alan Cowell
British authorities are readying new laws that would give the police stronger powers to try to pre-empt terror attacks and to silence clerics regarded as "preachers of hate." Lord Charles Falconer, the government minister in charge of the judiciary, said Sunday that the proposed legislation would seek to outlaw "indirect incitement" to commit terrorist acts, to prevent "acts preparatory" to terrorism, and to prevent "providing or receiving training" in terrorism. The proposed laws would permit the imprisonment or deportation of people "attacking the values of the West" or "glorifying the acts of suicide bombers." (New York Times)
