lpv:translated text	"It is important to put this very broad debate in perspective, and the perspective is terrorism. Now, we are able to put names to the world’s most dangerous terrorists. What has for a long time been clear to some people is now, following the military operations of recent weeks and months, obvious to everyone. The terrorists who are most deliberately and effectively ravaging our planet and threatening world peace are the governments of the United States and Israel. Daily, these two governments combine in using their huge death-dealing military technology to wreak far greater destruction than any other of the countless terrorists of world history. Monstrosities of military technology, they practise terrorism in multiple senses of the word. For one thing, they leave their victims in precisely that state of desperation and impotence that creates fertile ground for reactions similar to Bin Laden’s. It is absolute power, economic and military, that creates terrorism. In addition, there is the psychological warfare that is in the process of doing away with the concepts of justice which Europeans usually regard as fundamental to the values to which we subscribe and which, specifically, are a defence against terrorism. Two months ago, the United States sent Mr Prodi a list of 40 different decisions which, according to the United States Government, should be taken by the EU and the Member States in order to satisfy the United States: surveillance, control, arrest with no counsel for the defence or court hearing provided, and the handing over of suspects for legal proceedings in the United States, involving military courts and the death penalty. On the last point, I entirely agree with Mr Di Lello. We must protest most vigorously against the handing over of suspects in any form as long as there is the possibility of the death penalty’s being carried out and as long as no guarantee can be given by the United States of its not being carried out. It has been shameful to see the way in which the institutions of the EU have complied with demands that are also aimed at abolishing our concepts of justice. What is at issue here is not military technology but politics and the defence of the law."@en1
