Justice For Who?
The government will argue in Britain's highest court next week that foreign officials who commit torture abroad should be immune from civil action in the English courts.
What kind of message does this send to people? That it's okay to torture? That crime isn't always a crime depending who you are? That the Government can be complicit in a crime and be innocent, but the general public can't? And then they wonder why people have no respect for "law and order". It depends who's interpreting the law and the order, and it all beggars belief.
