MI5 - SOMETHING OF A CREDIBILITY PROBLEM ON TERRORISM!

When the head of the British security service MI5 clarified the agencies
'neutral' position on controversial UK government plans to seek powers
to detain citizens without charge for 42 days he was assured of good
media coverage. The UK media has been infiltrated by journalists sympathetic
to or directly in the payroll of the intelligence services.

The MI5 press release, described as 'highly unusual' by the BBC, had
Jonathan ('Call me Bob') Evans piously intoning that MI5 was not 'the
appropriate body' to advise on detention limits.

Yet this is the same Jonathan Evans who just hours before the 2007
Queen's Speech, with its promise of an anti-terrorism Bill and consultation
on tougher measures, was warning of a threat from an estimated 4,000
potential terrorists, recruited in Britain, plotting attacks against
innocent citizens. These potential terrorists, Evans said, were "methodically
and intentionally targeting young people in this country”. They were,
he said, bent on "radicalising, indoctrinating and grooming young,
vulnerable people to carry out acts of terrorism”.

The British intelligence services have however got something of a
credibility problem. After all it was the Intelligence who played
a significant role in compiling the 'Dodgy Dossier' which sought to
justify the Anglo-American invasion of Iraq.

From the point of view of the Celtic League Jonathan 'Bob' Evans is
well known from his active time 'in the field' i.e. his period of
duty in Ireland (see links).

After events in Ireland the British intelligence services have something
of a credibility problem when it comes to pontificating on terrorist
threats. Many people believe still that some of the worst terrorist
outrages perpetrated in Ireland were committed with their tacit aid
and encouragement.
