Terrorists are human too.

Now Howard wants to ban Australian citizens from writing books if they have any percieved terrorist links, stopping the public from being able to learn about what they did and why they did it.

[Howard wants Aussies] banned from writing books if they have trained with a terrorist organisation.

"Most people would regard it as pretty offensive that somebody can be associated with a terrorist organisation which has killed people including associates [who] may have killed our people in Bali and then they go and write a book about it," he said.

So now we have state censorship and human rights abuses being planned for introduction into Australian legislature, It's sounds like the old rhetoric from Cold War days is being reversed and put into use as party policy over in Media Wash HQ.
