The Russians and Americans sowed the seeds for terrorists like Bin Laden during the Cold War. Bin Laden may now be history, however his legacy remains in a radicalisation of the way in which terrorism is combated. The principles of the rule of law were the first to fall victim to the ‘war on terrorism’. Even within the EU, human rights violations take place and are hushed up in the name of ‘combating terrorism’. The US has often been more concerned with enhancing its leadership role than with cutting off terrorism at its roots. These are national, ethnic and religious conflicts. Now people find themselves under the investigators’ spotlight before they have committed a crime, so that, for example, innocent airline passengers are required to reveal all their personal data. Remember that we have no evidence for the success of these investigations involving a kind of data striptease. Now, following the killings in Norway, there is a suggestion that we should establish our own network for the ‘early detection of possible perpetrators of violent crime’. This is grotesque. Are we to have a situation in which anyone who has ever entertained ‘radical thoughts’, or anyone who fails the political correctness test, is to be monitored as a potential terrorist? Such a development is to be rejected in the strongest terms. In addition, clear separation is essential between members of the police and secret service when it comes to appointments to security bodies. Finally, a thorough review is also required of the role of EU Member States in CIA operations."@en1
