Yep I think we could both find plenty of evidence to support our points of view and I must say the jury is still out on the whole thing for me as I
can see ethical dilemmas with each side.
I must admit I have a deeply uneasy dstrust about Governments and primate politics in general and the more I find out about what they really do in the name of “duty” or for the “general good” the more disgusted I am.
The funny thing is what really goes on is so bad that no one really needs to invent stupid conspiracy theories.
Appreciate the dissussion. cheers.[/quote]
However ‘uneasy’ you are about our governments, I’m afraid it’s either ‘with us or against us’ in this war as in any other. There’s no fence to sit on between AQ/Taliban/sponsor states and Western democracies.
Also, releasing the full names of BNP members(a hated anti-Islamisation/anti-immigration nationalist party), which can be used to find addresses via phone books or electoral roles, is an act of out-and-out cyber-terrorism.

I’m not sitting on the fence, my world view just isn’t black and white, you’re either for us or against us. This is the mentality of war mongers and their dupes.
As for the BNP they are also vehemently racist, homophobic, mysogynistic and have direct links with the National front.
So they have been exposed.
However if you’re doing a publically funded job (teacher, judge, policeman etc) and you’re a member of an organisation that both implicitly and explicitly discriminates against large sections of the public, and that has been strongly associated with violence against those sections, it’s probably more unacceptable for those people to hold on to those types of jobs. Overtly racist Police officers in the inner city are not conducive to harmony.
I may not really agree with losing your job based on your political affliations, but these are people that are actually regarded in Britain as “risk factors” …but, there are some dicey legal issues and I would feel anyone who was accidently on that list or just a family member of someone on it or on it but had renounced them would be tarred with the same brush and hard done by.
But then there is always “collateral damage” to innocents isn’t there?
Also, here is a quote from the Times that dissolves much of the sympathy I may have harboured for them.
The BNP said in a statement on its website that it had lodged a complaint with Dyfed-Powys Police on the grounds that the “disgraceful act of treachery” breached human rights and data protection law.
Mr Griffin admitted that the Human Rights Act was one of the BNP’s pet hates, but denied that using it to enforce the privacy of its members was hypocrisy.
“No, we are not in favour of the Human Rights Act, it is a European piece of legislation, but as it is there we will happily use it if we can,” he said.
However in general, Britain can rest easy as the BNP has a history of being sufficiently incompetent that they have never really politically succeeded anyhow.
Basically the BNP are last centuries terrorists — facists.
You also should be carefull about who you label a sponsor state as the western democracies have been sponsoring and in some cases training these factions you mention and have most certaining and demonstrably been arming them for years.

I don’t support the BNP because their leaders are neo-Nazis who decided to change the image of the party after 9/11 to garner widespread support.
-
I DO support the pretend agenda of the BNP of ending immigration and ending the racism that white people have to suffer on a daily basis in their own country.
-
Whilst I don’t support the BNP I believe that their members, most of whom AREN’T neo-Nazis, deserve the right to join whatever political party they like without cyber-terror attacks.

Part of running a state from a practical point of view is choosing the lesser of evils and helping the enemy of your enemy. Realpolick is exactly that. Living in the real world instead of criticising the most civilised snd fair countries on earth from your armchair in the midst of a worldwide war.[/quote]
Would your zeal to uphold their political affliation rights still hold if they were (hypothetically made up name) “the support jihad end crusader/zionist/infidel ambitions party” ? or would the leaks then be “usefull intelligence” on “enemies of the state” if they were terrorists intsead of facists.
Living in the real world for some people is getting bombed, occupied, starved to death, and massacred by so called civillised countries and then being told that your country is the one that is uncivilised.
If realpolick is as you describe then it should be no suprise when it bites you on the ass and when you have to eat your own shit that it doesn’t taste very nice.
Your own armchair must be worn out by now.
