FYI: I don't club baby seals either.
you should.
i've heard they taste like a really salty vension.

I guess what I should have said here, is that I'm concerned that it might just become a whole bunch of dicks growing mo's, and actually lose the charity/fundraising aspect
interestingly, i was in oz when this thing kicked off.
and it was just a bunch of dicks growing mo's. all very fhm if i remember right.
they brought in the fund-raising side two years ago to make it more justifiable to wives and girlfriends!
oh, and vote the dropkicks.

But seriously. Vote for me.
he'd rather spend time in afghanistan than wellington...
vote the dropkicks!

This one is very similar to a previously leaked quote attributed to Iti:
did i already mention "trial by media"?
it's a travesty that this was so badly mishandled that we'll never have a fair and impartial trial of the suspects in this case.
and... what graeme said.

there seems to be two threads to this going on...
me, other thread:
so does this mean the trial by media can officially start?
those radicals deserve to be either locked up, or have their heads read.
but a big section of maori will be the focus of intense race-hatred on account of the msm airing police material, entirely without context, and with minimal explanantion.
i'm switching everything off till the dust settles.

perhaps it's also worth thinking about the notion that we're the beneficiaries of centuries of social, political and cultural evolution where people's fates are supposedly no longer decided by Star Chambers, feudal lords or homicidal mobs.
pity these centuries of advance haven't solved the issue of institutional racism, or majoritarianism masquerading as "shared civic values".

There's two possible explanations for the SG's statements yesterday (I'll broaden them out a bit to cover subtleties).
1, he's covering for the police who have cocked up.
2, he's looked at the evidence they've presented and thought "my god, this is terrible! terrorists!"
yeah, both those are unlikely imho. i'm far from a legal expert, but the sg shouldn't be covering for police, and it seems highly unlikely.
on the second point, the sg isn't in this case there to be convinced that he's looking at terrorists, he's there to determine whether there is a sufficient weight of evidence to prosecute under the TSA. his opinion on te qaeda being "actual terrorists" is as irrelevant as mine.
so we apply occams razor. the police didn't have sufficient evidence.
if the law was written to catch international criminals, a criticism that seems to be levelled against it, then maybe the police thought they had something that would have allowed them to make a prosecution stick.
remember the murmurs about a 'fiji connection'? and the publishing of the 'arabic' name of one of the accused? both those two small mentions made my conspiracy button flash. maybe they thought they had an "international cabal" angle they could use.
but, again, without seeing the evidence we'll never know how badly the police fcked up.
instead, we have blame moved firmly over the act they received bad advice about. like i say, more arse covering than a victorian swim-meet.

@insider. not as far as i know. i had the impression there were additional raids. such as the family in taupo who had their computer gear removed?
