[mukto-mona] FW: MILITANCY-MBI MUNSHI/



Dear Abid>
Are you a paid attack dog for Munshi? From where you got the idea, that he is an outstanding intellectual of our time? Can you send me a single publication from Munshi in any prestigious journal in America or Europe? There is another worshipper like you, who edited Munshi's India Doctrine. His qualifications to write a book review? He has a master's degree in sociology from Bangladesh! Lord have mercy—this satisfies your criteria for intellectualism?  Here is a challenge for you and MBI Munshi. Submit India Doctrine to New York Times book Review editor for an intellectual analysis. If NY Time verifies that Mr.Munshi's assertions, innuendos, accusations and speculative statements have basis in fact---I will give Mr.Munshi—the Key to my house in Washington D.C. However, if the NY Times say, it is wildly speculative book with lots of personal opinion, unfounded fear, and uncorroborated statements---then Mr.Abid, what is my recompense?  Nobody is talking about unconditional surrender of one's sovereignty. We are talking about common sense. If you read the Muslim History for the last 300 years, you will notice, how foolishly the Muslims have acted to their great detriment. I stand by my argument against Imam Hussein's foolishness. Why the Imam with 72 men , women, and children decided to fight an organized army of 10,000? If martyrdom was the object---why he took the children along? Why he did not chose to die like Jesus of Nazareth on the cross by himself and make his point for the mankind? Use your God given common sense and you will never call him a Shaheed. All along, the writing was on the wall---but the Munshis of this world---always defeated the voices of Reason. Every single Muslim country is taking dictation from the White Masters of today. Every Single Muslim Country is on the way to become a 'failed state' ---with the Americans and the Europeans are getting ready to deal with the Army led governments. I know, you will point to Iran as a good example of a sovereign state. Not really---they are totally banking on Russia to save them from the Americans. They are bribing the Russian officials and giving no bid contracts to government approved contractors. In case you have forgotten—Saddam also bribed the Russians to the tune of Billions. How long you will keep your head in the sand like an ostrich and pretend that you and people of your ilk are sovereign and you don't take no-shit from nobody? If you use your head, you will observe---the Muslim world is engulfed in Militancy movements. Don't you see why that's the case? Let me help you understand. You and Munshi are the type I am talking about. Both of you are the symbol of militant Islam---bold, reckless, sense-less, suicidal, materialistic, sparing nothing, fearing nothing,  and  contemptuous of the infidel powers. This militancy---which is fueling radicalism in the Muslim world---I am afraid-- may culminate in the 3rd world war. And that's exactly what you, Munshi, and the greatest Intellectual of Islam Allama Iqbal want. Says he---"You (Allah) have made them, (The Muslims) indifferent to the riches of the world, by instilling your love divine into their hearts. Except for the love of Jehad and the joy of martyrdom, the kingdom of the earth holds no attraction for them. This is the magic of Your Love Divine. It is the last wish and the greatest desire of a true Muslim".  Says it all Abid, doesn't it?

Mr Deddas,
It is true compared to Bangladesh, India had been powerful and is increasingly becoming powerful so is Bangladesh through it baby steps. But history shows from the time of Tajuddin through Sheikh Mujib and the other pro- Indians that Bangladesh's unconditional friendship with India only made Bangladesh lose its steam to even becoming a bottomless busket. All these experiences show that we have to be careful with an enemy and its mindset which MBI Munshi calls the "INDIA DOCTRINE." This enemy pretends like your best friend. Munshi that you call "foolish" warns us that we the independent-minded Bangladeshis shouldn't remain subsurviant to India. We fought against the mighty Pakistan the Paki Razakars with Mujib's "Chilli powder, Bhatee Marbo etc" to become independent, now Munshi warns us to watch the "pretentious friend" and the Indi razakars and the lost souls like you who want us to think that the earth is flat and India can do anything it wants.  
By the way, Immam Hossain was not foolish, as you think, he became shahid and set the example of fighting evil and today if there was no such example Iran would still remain to USA what you suggest Bangladesh should remain to India. To me you are so lost that you call MBI Munshi's warnings as "militancy".My question is how do you know so much when you seem to have never developed an inner eye to understand things around you. I wouldn't call it a result of birth defect but  I see some people are not so luckey to be gifted. 
 
Your seeking of the truth will require an inner-mind and to know how to think from outside the box. It appears to me that you are so afraid staying inside the box that you are trying to find another smaller box inside that box.
 
 Good luck to find a petit box but I don't see any there. But for your information, Mr. Munshi is in outside the box and can see you trying to hide for no reason except that you think irronously the world is flat.
 
Finally, before the Japanese defeated Russia, people thought white people are the master race. I hope Mr Das you keep some hope in humanity not on the Indian brahmo. Ofcourse I agree with you we should also keep hoping that India will change its racist mindset of Brahmon rule, the India doctrine. Instead of mixing up I suggest that you deal with  our outstanding issues with Pakistan and Mr. Munshi with our problems in India Bangladesh relations. This will keep both of you away fighting with each other and you a little wiser.

Dear Friends>

MBI Munshi, you write---"Creation of a regional task force with tactical operations capabilities and extra-territorial functions could threaten the internal stability of the country and make it a target for insurgents and terrorists who had until now posed no threat to
Bangladesh's interests". Very interesting indeed!

  I would argue, my dear Munshi,
more than our national security or dignity---common sense dictates---unprecedented international cooperation. We must cooperate with the CIA, the FBI, the Raw, the ISI, and the British MI and prevent terrorists from taking advantage of national and international borders.
You write, "For India to secure its political and military supremacy and control over the South Asian region it has become necessary for it to continuously maintain and protect her lead over other economies even by unfair means such as sabotage, fomenting and encouraging political instability in neighboring countries". My question to You Mr.Munshi---What the
Bangladesh should do against Indian hegemony? Are you asking your followers to follow the great Imam Hussein and commit suicide?  Imam Hussein, with 72 men, women and children—as young as one month old-- decided to fight 10,000 strong cavalry of Yazid in Kerbala. Instead of seeing how foolish the Imam was---Muslims see him as a great leader! If Nuclear powered Pakistan cannot shoot down even one of our 'Pilotless Drone' over Islamabad---where is the wisdom in your militant stance against India? Are you relying on Flocks of Birds from Allah for protection as Allah protected Kaabaa in 570 AD?

Intellectual and moral Bankruptcy of your anti-India posture is truly sickening. Your venomous attack on
India surpasses the foolishness of Hamas and Hezbollah's militant anti-Israel stance. The US, the Russians, and the EU have already declared---the next century will be an Indian and Chinese century. Only the militant Pakis and you think otherwise on this very vital issue. The Indians, armed with the largest Scientist force in the world, are beating the hell out of the Americans in every field. In last five years, more than Three Million Indians left USA for lucrative jobs in India. Doesn't common sense dictate that we the Bangladeshis also recognize this reality and act accordingly? After Mangle Pandey's revolution against the British in 1857---the wise Hindus, decided to beat the Brits by obeying them and learn from them. As a result, the British built the finest engineering schools in India---owing to that, India landed on Moon in 2008! Back then, the Muslims listened to scholars like you---not that Kafir Sir Syed Ahmed Khan---with devastating and disastrous far reaching consequences for the Muslims of the world! Islamic history of last 1000 years is replete with these militant voices. How very sad and unfortunate indeed. Will we Muslims ever learn?

[ALOCHONA] Bangladesh's brutal pay revolt

Bangladesh's brutal pay revolt

As Bangladesh comes to terms with the violence that followed the recent mutiny of border guards, eyewitness and reporter Mark Dummett asks why events spiralled out of control so dramatically.
 
A regualr soldier watches events unfold
The regular army was deployed to BDR headquarters after gunfire erupted
The headquarters of the Bangladesh Rifles was built in the days of the British Raj.
 
Though surrounded by the congested streets of the capital Dhaka, this huge compound still has a colonial atmosphere.
It is a green and pleasant oasis of neatly mown lawns, palm trees, rose gardens and even a small zoo.
 
But the deer in the zoo are dying of hunger because the men who normally feed them have either been killed, or have run away. This was the scene of the mutiny that became a massacre.
 
'On the rampage'
The bodies of officers were dumped in mass graves, dug hastily into a vegetable garden. Some corpses were thrown into fast flowing sewers. Later, after the revolt collapsed, navy divers were lowered into the dirt and the dark to search for them.
 
The mutineers - paramilitary border guardsmen - had gone on the rampage.
If the men really were after a pay rise, then why were they so brutal?
They trashed the rooms of their commanding officer, who was one of the first to die.
 
The blood of his wife, who they also murdered, covered the walls. There were smashed frames of family photos, clothes, books and ornaments lying scattered on the floor.
 
Differing accounts
This apparently started as a dispute over pay. Two of the mutineers called the BBC at our bureau in Dhaka. They complained that their salaries were miserably low, while their well-paid officers always mistreated them.
They also accused the officers of siphoning off money that should have gone into a huge, nationwide food- for-the-poor programme the Bangladesh Rifles operated last year.
 
map of bangladesh
Well the men, apparently, had had enough.
The violence started after thousands of riflemen and their top brass gathered for their annual get-together.
 
Accounts differ as to what exactly happened, but one officer involved in the investigation told me that a group of armed men entered the room from the side and started firing. The gunfire went on for five hours.
 
Scale of violence
From my vantage point on a roof close to the compound's perimeter, I heard one of the mutineers call out to his men through a megaphone: "Brothers, let's stay together. The army is trying to come in but we will hold them back by any means."
 
Like other journalists, I assumed we were hearing the sounds of a battle.
But after the revolt had ended and the death toll was added up, we learnt that at least 56 officers had been killed and just six Riflemen. In other words, the shooting had been mostly in one direction.
 
If the men really were after a pay rise, as they said they were, then why were they so brutal? It is a question which has perplexed and shocked Bangladeshis, many of whom were initially sympathetic to the mutineers demands. After all, many people in the country complain of being badly paid and abused by corrupt bosses.
 
Was this revolt evidence then of what can happen when the frustrations and anger of the Bangladeshi man boil over? Or was the whole affair more complicated and more political than that?
 
'Evil game'
The police have now issued more than 1,000 arrest warrants for mutineers who were somehow able to escape before their revolt collapsed. This happened when the prime minister promised to look into their demands, while threatening to send in the army to crush them if they did not lay down their guns.
 
Tanks had roared through the streets of Dhaka to get ready for the final assault, which thankfully never happened.
Sheikh Hasina 30 Dec 2008
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina offered an amnesty to the mutineers
The civil servant leading the government's inquiry said he will report back next week but his boss, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has already given her theory of what happened.
 
It was a conspiracy, an "evil game", she called it, to foil the country's democracy, independence and sovereignty.
The plot is still on, she added. All will have to remain alert.
 
For a while after the mutiny it did indeed seem as if democracy in Bangladesh was in danger.
We had reports from soldiers that the army was angry with how the prime minister had handled things. But tempers soon cooled and the army chief pledged his allegiance to the government.
 
Attempted coups
So who might want to destabilise Bangladesh at this time?
Sheikh Hasina's Awami League won a massive majority in elections in December and took over from an army-backed caretaker government.
She has promised warm relations with neighbouring India, to tackle extremist groups, and to prosecute people - including some prominent opposition politicians - who are accused of war crimes and of collaborating with Pakistan during the 1971 war of independence.
 
Bangladesh has, of course, been here before. In its 38-year history, the country has been rocked by 20 coups and attempted coups. Sheikh Hasina's father - the country's first president, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman - was gunned down along with most of his family in 1975.
 
The current opposition leader, Khaleda Zia, lost her husband, the then President General Zia Rahman in 1981. If the record of the past is anything to go on, then the facts that emerge over the coming days about the mutiny will be partial and contested. The ringleaders will probably not be punished and there is a chance that bloodshed will follow bloodshed.

[ALOCHONA] BDR Carnage plotted at least 2 months back

BDR Carnage plotted at least 2 months back

 

Citing telephone records of some suspects, investigators yesterday said the February 25 massacre at BDR Pilkhana headquarters might have been planned at least two months back.They said so far they have collected the last two months' phone records of the suspects.

 

"Most likely the networking between them had begun much before that. Further investigation will shed light on that," said a high official of a law enforcement agency, requesting anonymity. The information obtained in interrogations of the arrested mutineers bears out what has been gleaned from analysis of the phone records, he added. As of yesterday, the investigators have gathered that at least 100 people were involved in the vicious killings of scores of army officials deputed to BDR. "However, this number [of mutineers] could shoot up to 1,000 in the end."

 

Another investigator who too would not speak on record said the maximum participation was from Rifles Security Unit, intelligence wing of BDR, a certain battalion and Regimental Police (RP) of the paramilitary force.

 

He said the suspects being grilled have disclosed that plotters who include outsiders had been motivating the border guards against their commanding officers. Particularly, the ones who joined the service around two to three years ago had been more involved.

 

"Some of the mutineers were told that only a few officers would be killed while others were told that none would be killed. The officers would be taken hostage only to be released after the demands are met," the investigator continued. But as the revolt began, things went beyond their control and an orgy of killings took place.

 

Investigators said they believe most of the border guards inside the Pilkhana compound knew that something was going to happen.

 

They said they would not face any major difficulty detecting the BDR troops now that they have access to a database containing details of the 67,000-force.

 

"Initially, there was no reliable source of information as the mutineers have burnt or destroyed most of the documents at the headquarters," said an investigator.

 

A member of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) tasked with investigation of the bloodbath said they are sure the runaway rebels have taken with them small arms and grenades. The efforts are on to know the number of missing firearms and grenades.

 

Asked about reports that some mutineers have managed to flee the country by air and through Comilla border, the investigators said they too have such information, but could not yet confirm if it is correct.The law enforcement agencies and security forces will bring back the suspected rebels to the capital immediately after capture in the countrywide drive styled 'Operation Rebel Hunt'.

 

They have a helicopter all ready and waiting to fly the rebels back in the city. Sources in the Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) said over 200 suspected mutineers have already been held in custody. Besides, they said, they have identified all 14 BDR personnel who participated in negotiations with the government.

Of the 14, five are deputy assistant directors (DAD), two havilders, two nayeks, one lance nayek and four soldiers. The sources, however, declined to divulge the names that are yet to be known like DAD Syed Touhidul Alam's.

Intelligence agencies and committees formed to probe the carnage are working in coordination to help CID come up with a strong charge sheet after investigation.

 

Meanwhile, a Dhaka court yesterday granted a petition for permission to defuse 17 grenades seized from BDR headquarters.Chief Metropolitan Magistrate AKM Enamul Haque passed the order following a prayer submitted by CID ASP Abdul Kahar Akand, also investigation officer (IO) of the case filed with Lalbagh Police Station in connection with the mass killings at Pilkhana.

In another development, 22 BDR jawans held in Tangail were shown arrested in the case yesterday.

 

Metropolitan Magistrate Abdur Rahim granted the prayer for the jawans to be shown arrested. The IO said the border troops have been rounded up at different parts of Tangail district for alleged links to the bloody mutiny.

The court also ordered that they all be shifted to Dhaka Central jail.

[mukto-mona] Re: The BDR mutiny - revenge for Padua and Boraibari

I agree with you that many Bangaldeshi are anti-Indian.
I would like to tell that India and Bangladesh should be good friends to each other. It will be difficult for Bangladesh to compromise with Pakistan because both's mentality is reverse. India can not compromise too with Pakistan and vice versa. The world knows that.

There may be some misunderstanding between Bangladesh and India in past but there is no time now to engage with that misunderstanding.
I think Bangladesh and India can paly a vital role in South Asia to make it a peaceful abode of living.The people of Bangladesh shall be more benifited if they look India in a friendly way. Pakistan can never think the development of Bangladesh.Pakistan will never love Bangladesh people by heart. This is important to understand.

We the secular people of this region can make the two counties strong economically and technologically if we saty together side by side and help each other like good friends.

Unity is strenght and we should be united keeping our geographical entity as two neibouring countries.

The world is changing fast and in this changing world we should not feel enmity on religion basis. Our existance with our self respect is depending on our tie-up like two good friends.We should not do any project which will harm the two neighbours. India and Bangladesh should understand this.

The people of both the countries will take each other as if we are from the same family but living in different houses.
My emotion for Bangladesh is at a peak because I can not forget her as my birth place and I saw the first time sun rays in Bangladesh. But we could stay there. My respect and love for Bangladesh will never die til I am alive and I shall never be able to disest any one who will desire the harm of Bangladesh. Whoever they be.

Lets come and stand side by side and lets start work to develop and lets start to create a terror free subcontinent. A fundamentalists free, a hardliners free, a middle- age -cultured Taleban free region. "Chitto jetha Bhay sunno" free region.

[mukto-mona] The fall of a “Golden Sparrow”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fall of a "Golden Sparrow"
 
Ripan Kumar Biswas
Ripan.Biswas@yahoo.com
 
It may be a fairy tale, fable, or mythological tale today, but once the Indian Subcontinent was called as the "Golden Sparrow" as it was the wealthiest and most prosperous place in the world.
 
The Indian subcontinent, the great landmass of South Asia, is the home of one of the world's oldest and most influential civilizations. During the reign of Asoka (273 BCE to 232 BCE) or the aegis of the Moghul Empire (1526-1858), there was no crime at all. People were equally rich with their houses filled with gold and food and lived peacefully and cooperatively with their fellows.
 
It was the start of the Indus Valley Civilization that flourished in the Subcontinent and was really well-developed in comparison with other civilizations in the world at the same time. Starting from that time and then going over to the Vedic age, Mahajanapadas, Persian era, Greek Era, Magadha Empire, Maurya dynasty, the Golden Era, Gupta dynasty, Delhi Sultanate, Mughal Era, and finally the British regime, which however, was a miserable time; each of this eras that have gone by have so much of history and culture of patriotism, cooperation and coalescence, but nothing crucial or inhuman like the present days in this region. The Golden Sparrow for abundance in everything has gone forever and is turned into a dead bird.
 
The euphoria started dissipating while the region experienced a long history of conflict, war and terrorism due to political instability, rampant corruption, and civil conflict. Including Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan, Indian subcontinent is one of the world's most populous regions, where multiple forms of conflict and violence traverse territorial frontiers, linking domestic politics with foreign policy and complicating the search for peace and security in South Asia and beyond. Indian subcontinent encompasses deeply contested territories, histories and ideologies; rapid economic growth and profound poverty; democratic polities and authoritarian regimes; an aspiring great power and failing states.
 
Indian Subcontinent that geographically covers almost all of the countries of South Asia has become the cynosure of global attention after the nuclear weaponization of its two major constituents-India and Pakistan. In the perception of external observers this development combined with the existing patterns of conflictual relationships, large conventional military machines and military dictatorships and authoritarian regimes intensifies the potential for conflict in South Asia. Indian Subcontinent regionally presents a picture of marked contrasts in all fields politically, militarily, economically, and socially. Such an explosive mix of factors make it imperative that one explores meaningful conflict resolution initiatives and measures to divert South Asia from the path of destruction to peace and prosperity. In the absence of such initiatives, one may get confronted with small fires leading to conflagration. In this sense, a conflict prone South Asia
does become a global concern.
 
To live in peace and security, everyone needs to be free from violence and feel safe and protected against threats. It is in peace and through peace that the nations of South Asia can able to secure the future of their peoples and contribute to the maintenance of international peace and security and the attainment of common ends of mankind. But the region is passing through a turbulent phase due to cross-border terrorism, internal dissensions, changing societies with their inherent difficulties and the challenges of intolerance in modern society
 
South Asia is viewed as a region of protracted animosity due to a host of reasons like political, ethno-cultural and religious conflicts of various nature, occasional terrorist activities with cross-border ramifications, illegal trafficking of arms, etc. The region, therefore, remains politically volatile with the potentialities to threaten peace and stability in the areas both within and beyond it. Attacking Sri Lankan cricketers by a dozen of gunmen in the Pakistani city of Lahore, killing of Bangladesh army officers by a group of Bangladesh Rifles mutineers in Dhaka, or shooting down of foreigners by a group of militants in Mumbai, India, have drawn the rapt attention of many in recent times. The attack added to the growing realization that South Asia is now the principal crucible in the global conflict against terrorism and militant activity.
 
Globalization has brought people across the world nearer to each other. It has also brought civilizations and cultures closer together, providing novel arenas for more intense dialogue and more communication platforms for mutual and sustained understanding. The notion that ours is a global neighborhood has become reality. But conflict driven countries that suffer from terrorism are susceptible to instability, insecurity and poverty. Besides the major conflicts in the region between India and Pakistan, other countries such as, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka are victims of terrorism.
 
The emergence of radical Islamic movements in South Asia in the 1990s may be traced to the conjunction of several phenomena. Among these are reaction to globalization -- which has been particularly associated with the western and European countries in the minds of regional elites -- frustration with repression by secularist governments, the desire to create a pan-Islamic South Asia, reaction to the Israeli occupation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and the arrival of terrorist veterans of years of fighting in Afghanistan. The forging of connections between Al Qaeda and domestic radical Islamic groups in South Asia is part of this trend.
 
Terrorism here is understood as being premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by sub national groups or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience. South Asia, which had experienced very low levels of organized terrorism until the early 1980s, has undergone a dramatic transformation to become the scene of the bloodiest terrorist violence in the world. South Asia is a region where terrorists are displaying increasing sophistication in their strikes, not only in weaponry but also in ways of carrying out attacks. Combating terrorism has become the biggest political challenge to the national leadership in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, or other South Asian countries.
 
It is unfair and inaccurate, however, to point the finger just at South Asia that it descends into terror's vortex whereas terrorism has indeed become a global menace, and today no nation or region or community is totally immune from terrorist violence or from its effects. Terrorism is not only one fact that hinders development and progress in South Asia. Human life is threatened here with environmental crises, conflicts, endemic poverty, natural calamities, and an arms race. But terrorism and repression blockade all the sustainable development and human security in this region.
 
Countering the widespread threat of terrorism, the SAARC can implement the current protocol for cooperation against terrorism and bring it in line with the international norms. The establishment of SAARC in South Asia aimed to bring stability to South Asia by enhancing regional cooperation.
 
To build fresh economic and social structures and to give live to the golden sparrow once again, South Asia should reinforce mutual cooperation that could provide a holistic model for peace and development in South Asia.

[mukto-mona] Massacre at the BDR Camp

Massacre at the BDR Camp

 Bears the Hallmark of the War-Criminals

 

Jiten Roy, Ph.D.

 

By now we know what happened inside the BDR camp that day, which I do not want to talk about here. Instead, I will talk about what did not happen that day. First, let's concentrate on the execution style of the massacre: the killing, the body mutilation, the mass-grave, the rape, the arson, the looting, etc. Don't you think all these can be likened with the massacre that followed after the March 25, 1971? Surely it does.

 

This event, once again, reminds us that anti-liberation war-criminals are not sitting idle. They never do. In fact, they are still fighting the anti-liberation war inside Bangladesh. The very existence of Bangladesh is an ideological defeat for them. As a result, they patiently wait for the opportune moments. Once that moment arrives, they spring up with all their might to win over that lost battle. Now, why do I bring this inference into a legitimate dispute between the BDR forces and their Army officers?

 

The BDR discontent provided a unique opportunity for the war-criminals to flare up a bigger conflict between the BDR and the Armed forces. Motivating the BDR forces to revolt against the Armed forces was an easy task. The condition was perfect to take advantage of. The war-criminals did not miss that opportunity. The plan was to start an armed struggle between the BDR and the Armed forces to destabilize the government. Had the plan been executed as planned, the government would fall, and the looming trials of the war-criminals would come to a halted for good. In my humble opinion, this was the truth behind the BDR mutiny, which obviously only a handful of the BDR soldiers, if at all, were aware of. Others may have believed that they are fighting a genuine battle to take revenge for all injustices done to them by the Army offices. Majority of them may not be smart enough to smell the conspiracy that they were just being exploited by the outside interest groups, who supplied them with unlimited financing, and truck-loads of arms and ammunitions. If they were smart enough, they could ask themselves why outside agents were so sympathetic to their grievances.

 

We have been lucky this time that it was a failed attempt by the war-criminals to destabilize the country once again, and the credit goes to the Armed forces. Their prudent response during this crisis saved the country from a major calamity. The government should learn lessons also from this national tragedy. Military intelligence and other security branches should include non-political civilian members and administrators to maintain balance of power in those organizations. I am still puzzled by the fact that such a long term conspiracy inside the BDR cantonment escaped the radar-screens of the military intelligence branches, which tells me that the intelligence branches are mainly used by the government powers to control public dissidence, criticism, and free-speeches. That's a shame, indeed. No system can work properly if it is designed to favor a particular group. If we are genuinely interested in stopping similar events in the future, all intelligence branches should be overhauled right now.
