Apartheid techniques

Archbishop Desmond Tutu in a BBC inteview likens the anti-terrorist measures in the US and UK to those used by the South African regime's enforcement of apartheid. (A link to the audio version of the interview is on the BBC front page at this moment, but defies any attempt to be inserted elsewhere as a link.)

Archbishop Tutu said he was alarmed that arguments used by the South African apartheid regime are now being used to justify anti-terror measures.

"It is disgraceful and one cannot find strong enough words to condemn what Britain and the United States and some of their allies have accepted," he said.

No need for me to add more at this point - Tutu is much more eloquent than I. (. . . . but I do feel a Blog coming on.)
