Never Enough
After the 7/7 London bombings, France decided it was not enough. So, even though France has already one of the toughest anti-terrorism judicial arsenal in Europe, it is adding to it. Indeed, French newspaper Le Monde just revealed the clauses of the new anti-terrorist law due to be formally presented to the government on October 19.
Here is a rundown of the major changes:…very fast procedure to freeze assets after a decision from the Economy Minister…major expansion of video surveillance…
When does it become enough? When will we have sacrificed enough liberty to be safe? Your assets can be frozen without a court even becoming involved. If these measures are effective, why do we keep piling them on?
