"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
British Anti-Terror Police Unit Allowed Informants to Commit Murders in Exchange for Information on Terror Groups
"An elite anti-terrorist unit let Belfast [ Northern Ireland ] outlaws get away with murder in exchange for information, but its officers will not be charged because they covered their tracks, according to an investigation published Monday into police spying on a Protestant gang. The findings of police Ombudsman Nuala O'Loan, the Roman Catholic watchdog for the mostly Protestant police force, sent shock waves through a peace process that depends on building Catholic support for the police." When it comes to initiating or enabling violence, the ends never justify the means. The "anti-terror unit" [sic] allowed and facilitated murders and violence, they say, to prevent murders and violence; nice job, guys.
