Then you must have missed all those "anti terrorism laws" that have been passed in the last years in all G8 countries. Here is an example for the United Kingdom, whose police was in today's press because they now want to use the "Terrorism Act 2000" law against environmental activists that are currently demonstrating at Heathrow airport and have been labeled "anarchists".

When I look at the crap our German minister Schäuble is planning and at all the laws Bush is passing and compare it to historic incidents, then I am getting increasingly concerned.
