Daily Mirror, 25 July 2005: Ian Blair insisted yesterday police
shoot-to-kill rules of engagement were necessary to protect lives. The Met
police chief faced off critics as he apologised for the shocking blunder
in which innocent Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes, 27, was shot dead by
officers hunting the London bombers. Jean, 27, was blasted five times in
the head. Sir Ian said: "We're quite comfortable the policy is right but
these are difficult times. They (the rules) have to be that. There's no
point in shooting at someone's chest because that's where a bomb is likely
to be. . .The only way to deal with it is to shoot to the head."

Tsk, tsk. . .so it has come to this: The Great Anglo-Saxon Powers claim
their *War on Terror* strategy from George A. Romero's zombie hunting
handbook.

Nearly as appalling as the senseless murder of de Menezes is the complete
lack of reflection on the part of the Anglo-Saxon Powers. This brutal
murder is the *War on Terror* in microcosm. Ever since *9/11,* the
*coalition of the willing* have been scrambling around from Afghanistan to
Iraq like trigger happy Keystone Kops, killing thousands and thousands of
dark-skinned others in an unending series of *regrettable mistakes.*

After last Thursday's dud *terror* attack on the London subway, limey
Prime Minister Tony Blair opined about the *evil ones*:

I agree, the world would be nicer if everyone got on, stopping insulting
other nations would be a start.
