Terror Suspect Assests Freeze

Just caught this on this morning’s news:

Chancellor Gordon Brown is to call for a “step change” in efforts to cut off funding to terrorist groups.

The Treasury must use undercover intelligence material to freeze suspects’ assets, he will say.

Note the use of the word “suspects” – yes, that’s right, you don’t need to actually be guilty of terrorism, the bastards just need to suspect you. If you were ever in any doubt that Gordon Brown is as dismissive of the rule of law as the maximum Tone, well, here’s the evidence.
