Isn't it so conveeeenient for Fraudbury that those horrible facts that would make ordinary, mainstream New Zealanders take up pitchforks and torches and lynch all the Tuhoe and anarchists they could find will never be tested in open court or exposed to the cruel light of day? That Bomber will be able to gossip with Chris Traitor and his mates about it until their dying day, in the knowledge that they were right all along... it's just it can never be proved? Sad.

Seriously, we said all along that the real reason for these raids and for the use of the TSA was to intimidate radical activism. Perhaps the SIS (who were the real power behind this) double-crossed the cops, making them think they had enough evidence to win, when really they only had enough evidence for a public relation campaign against scary people (which Traitor and Fraudbury fell for)

One more thought - is anyone else REALLY SCARED by the crap coming out of Howard Broad, that the problem with the current law is that you can't arrest people until they've committed a crime or are planning a crime? That he wants powers to arrest and charge people who MIGHT COMMIT CRIME SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE? (Ref: P. K. Dick, "Minority Report")
