thelink: Australia justifies its use of concentration camps for asylum seekers as being because those asylum seekers may be terrorists in disguise
thelink: 70 unaccompanied children who may be terrorists? get a fucking spine, cunts
thelink: next time you visit an Australian resort, consider it a last resort
thelink: try to imagine the razor wire and armed guards with dogs
thelink: this has been going on for far too long
thelink: on the wider issue of adult refugee detention, terrorism may provide some cover ... population overflow does not
thelink: "...at the current arrival rate, it would take 30 years of boat arrivals to fill the MCG."
thelink: we all know o/' it's a prisoner's island o/' ... ghosts of the civil dead is worth a watch if you want to understand the world we live in today
thelink: privatisation of prisons, remote control removing the agent of action from the decision maker, whose concern is profit and comfort, not welfare ...
thelink: the movie contains a scene eerily replayed in Australia yesterday, 'maximum security' prisoner bashed to death recorded on CCTV while guards inactive for 25 mins
thelink: much of the movie is based on true stories, with voiceovers from the actual storytellers, ex-prisoners, shot in one of the first 'new generation' prisons in USA prior to it being opened
thelink: (i used the word eery not because it's any great spooky coincidence, but because i think watching a recording of a guy under constant surveillance being beaten and unaided for 25 minutes is eery)
thelink: carl's side of the story or something purported to be it
thelink: the prison's explanation
thelink: quite a different picture to ghosts ... underbelly portrayed carl williams as member of a playboy gangster culture

thelink: also "The theft began with an instant message sent to a Google employee in China who was using Microsoft's Messenger program"
thelink: proving the inherent problem of single-signon web-based systems

LOL US top law enforcement official said on Friday he keeps in his office a portrait of George Orwell
posted by thelink at 2010-04-20 03:09

thelink: because he was such a good writer, you understand ...
thelink: at least this guy has a sense of irony
thelink: "he selected two portraits for his office, the first being Robert Jackson, a former Supreme Court Justice, U.S. attorney general and Nuremberg war crimes prosecutor"
thelink: so you see, sometimes they do something good ...
