[Brian Drolet]

Given the selective and opportunistic definitions of "terroriism" employed by governments and international organizations, the Intermet Counter-Terrorism security proposals promise to serve as the camel's nose of suppression in the tent of political opposition and free speech. History is a good guide here. There must be very explicit guarantees, restrictions and definitions in any policy formulations.

I am in New York for a human rights meeting and the organisers have invited some UN officials to meet with us on this topic.
