The nation wide raid that netted Tame Iti at this time seems as though it might be somewhat suspect. We are led to believe that a year long investigation into guerilla-style weapons training in the Urewera has led to these arrests. One would expect that the charges to be laid will be related to the suppression of terrorism act. If not, why have these people been raided using the act to justify the raids after a year long investigation?
If it turns out that the raids are justified, I think serious questions will be asked about the motives of these so called guerillas.
I am disturbed about reports of tooled up [armed] police in warfare gear terrorising women and children on a bus in the Bay of Plenty. Who are the terrorists here?
This, from John Minto is interesting.
