Blair's Witch Hunt.

Blair announces new U.K. deportation measures
CTV.ca News Staff
British Prime Minister Tony Blair announced plans today to expand powers to deport people who foster hatred and advocate violence.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, Blair said he was prepared to amend human rights legislation if the new deportation measures give rise to legal challenges.
Under the European Convention on Human Rights, to which Britain is a signatory, it is not allowed to deport people to a country where they may face torture or death.
"Let no one be in any doubt that the rules of the games are changing,'' Blair said.
Blair said Friday that new legislation -- which he hopes to pass by the end of the year -- would see people refused asylum if they are found to have been involved in terrorism.
The legislation would target people who received training in terrorist techniques in Britain or abroad. Clerics who preach hate and web sites that sponsor violence, such as those offering instructions on bomb-making, would also be targeted.
A one-month consultation will be held on new grounds for excluding and deportation people from the United Kingdom.
Blair's comments come just over one month after a series of blasts on London's transit system killed 56 people, including four bombers.

My Thoughts On This:
How can you just decide that someone has terrorist thoughts and then deport them based on this? Are we going to resort back to the days of the salem witch trials...where people just decided their neighbors were witches because they were different? What makes a possible terrorist? How do you know what someone's intentions are/were before the act has already taken place...and by then isn't it too late? And besides....if they do deport the person who has terrorist thoughts...who's to say he won't strike from outside? I really don't think he's going in the right direction with this.
