CSC Researcher Robin Simcox is a witness on BBC Radio 4's the Moral Maze discussing the balance struck between national security and liberty in the wake of the weekend's cargo bomb plot. (3 November 2010)
Ok, we are so responsive to human suffering: Of course we are decent people who understand that Islamic extremism pose a serious threat to our security.
P.S. I'd say Wikileaks is good and bad, but probably initially worse than better.
this was a good programme, simcox needs to keep hammering a truly balanced view
oh...the first witness from the laughably named islamic "human rights" ?,(well there are 3 words that shouldn t go on the same page), was so truly evasive, i m surprised he admitted to his own name :-)
I think the reason why people panic more about Islamic bombers than the IRA is that the IRA only wanted complete separation of Ireland politically from the United Kingdom. The IRA did not want to force a medieval law upon the UK, or tell people how to dress, eat and conduct themselves....and the IRA never deliberately, and systematically targeted civillians as a matter of course nor did it engage in suicide bombings.
