Hmmm, I also think that underwear is a tool of terrorism. After all, a terrorist whose bum isn’t dry and comfy will be far more likely to succeed.

And, we all know how little regard Fox and the right have for human rights.

I love the way they just casually drop ‘human rights groups’ in next to ‘communists’…

Douglas Adams was correct:

“I don’t think anybody would argue now that the Internet isn’t becoming a major factor in our lives. However, it’s very new to us. Newsreaders still feel it is worth a special and rather worrying mention if, for instance, a crime was planned by people ‘over the Internet.’ They don’t bother to mention when criminals use the telephone or the M4, or discuss their dastardly plans ‘over a cup of tea,’ though each of these was new and controversial in their day.”

This isn’t actually so far fetched. I’m sure that Twitter was at least in part devised to allow flocks of people in protests against, say, the Iraq war to organise on the hoof quicker than any authorities can contain them. So if that’s construable as terrorism, it’s the good terrorism that doesn’t involve killing people or, indeed, terrorising anyone.
