British Police To Terrorists: We’ll Let Y’all Know If We’re Coming For You

Posted on June 18, 2006

The British left-wing rag “The Guardian” reports that following a raid during which one person was shot in the shoulder by the police (the cops were looking for a chemical weapon that wasn’t there), said police are going to… are going to… sorry, it’s so incredibly STUPID that I can’t mention it myself. Here is what the Guardian says:

The police are considering a proposal to let selected British Muslims examine the intelligence used to mount anti-terrorism raids before they take place, the Guardian has learned.

Yup. You read it. It’s really impossible to believe. The Brits are going to voluntarily leak anti-terrorist intelligence before they act on it; not only that, but the intel is going to be leaked to those who are most likely the closest to THE TARGETS!

Read the whole article here. And then weep.

The Brits are soft in the head these days or perhaps light in the sneakers. Who knows. I heard on talk radio Friday that they banned guns, are going for the Muslim review, and they have banned knives (because of recent crimes).

So, the citizens have turned in thier guns, Muslims are going to review police investigations, and Brits cannot defend themselves. The criminals and terrorists may have a heyday.

Uh. they’re giving the info to muslims. Not terrorists.

True. They are sharing sensitive information with non police or security entities.

If the military were planning an offensive or intel raid, such as the operation on Zawqawi, would it be proper to share that information outside the intel community? If I understand it right, they may have a civilian review panel to review probable cause.

Would you share search warrant information with a neighborhood watch group?

I suppose that if the Muslim were sworn officers or had gone through a background investigation for access to national security access, it would be alright. There is not enough information about who has access to what at this time.

As I said earlier, the Brits may be getting soft, ban guns, ban knives, prohibit self defense in ones home, and share intelligence information with potentially uncleared individuals is courting disaster.

“If I understand it right, they may have a civilian review panel to review probable cause.”

Here we have a magistrate judge do it. I wonder what happened wrong to their process.
