Sensitivities

Makes a change to see comments like these at Have Your Say. And to hear the US use some counter spin on Guantanamo and really hit back.

The comments were deemed 'insensitive'.

The family involved in last weeks raids in East London say 'no other innocent family should be put through the same nightmare'. With the lawyer chipping in that they 'have endured the most terrible ordeal you could imagine'.

Really? Who's being insensitive. Try saying that to the faces of those killed last July.

And the media have been correctly highlighted as a continuing part of the problem:-

"250 police officers DID NOT raid the address, only a small percentage did. The majority were on standby in the event of a necessary evactuation and impliment road closures which would have been man power intensive! These officers were never used. It is ludicrous and sensationalist journalism to suggest you could get 250 officers into one house. Let's have some measured accurate journalism. It is the press who are stirring this up by continually suggesting this heavy handed approach"

By the way you should check out this excellent blog

for a reminder of the kind of people who supported those February demos - attended by the brother of one of the 'innocent' men involved in the raids... who stands to make some £500k in compensation. The full facts supporting their 'innocence' aren't even out yet.
