WE have had "intelligence" that Iraq had WMD. We have had "intelligence" that there was currently no group capable of launching the London bombings.
We have had "intelligence" that led to the public shooting of an innocent Brazilian national.
We have, presumably intelligent, politicians telling us that recent events have no connection with our own brutal actions in Iraq and our humiliation of Muslim prisoners.
Perhaps we ought to revert to common sense. We could then begin to reclaim our own integrity and reverse the ill informed, and perceptibly arrogant, deployment of our military might, even if it means less oil for our 4 x 4s!
