The British guide to terrorism

[dArKeR]

London - A booklet instructing people what to do in the event of a terrorist attack is to be sent by the government to every home in Britain, the Financial Times business daily reported on Saturday.

The move came after pressure from the police and business community, who wanted greater openness about the risk of an atrocity and feared that people were ill-prepared for a possible attack, the Financial Times said.

The campaign is to be launched in coming weeks. Leaflets, which were still being prepared, are to give citizens practical advice about what to do in emergencies ranging from floods to a chemical, biological or nuclear attack.

4. Norman Finkelstein just on CSPAN, factually compared the American

Indians to Al Qaeda. Factually referencing what was published about the American Indians, in the 1800/1900s to what is being published about the Muslims today.

5. What was his exact comparison?

"American Indians" to Muslims in general or to al-Qa'idah?

I like Norman.

6. I'm really not an intellectual. It went right in one ear and out the other

Try to catch the rerun. But I think he meant:
1. No one is/was being told the truth about the 'evil doer savages', Indians or Muslims.
2. He directly said he was not conding the acts that the Indians did or the Americans did on the Indians. He is only studying the facts. (I really like this guy because he brought up this word 2 dozen times.)
3. I believe he said that modern day Americans have a sympathy for what Americans did to the Indians.

On another point: I believe he said the only truth Henry Kissinger ever said was, 'Never is a war so strong as between intellectuals with having such a pitiful reward.' (paraphrase).
