"Mr President, in correspondence that is still being kept from Members in spite of my requests, Mr Bush put four intolerable demands to Mr Prodi.
They are intolerable because they are made by a government that has set up military courts and introduced measures described as ‘patriotic’ but that in fact take away any right to defence, by a government that, since 11 September, has kept nearly a thousand immigrants in prison without lawyers and without charging them, by a government that, when all is said and done, has still not abolished the death penalty.
In the name of urgency, but also in a state of total confusion, the Council and Commission are trying to make us swallow texts on terrorism that are always questionable and often have not even been put to the vote. I believe it is time to call a stop to this masquerade and this caricature of democratic debate. In the name of the war against terrorism, they are waging war against democratic freedoms and the social acquis. This is not our war; the war we should be waging is against violence, poverty, unemployment, hunger in the world and dictatorships, against corruption and safe havens for Mr Berlusconi."@en1
