Carsten Kofoed: The terrorists’ ”terrorist case”

The terrorists’ ”terrorist case”

By Carsten Kofoed, Free Iraq Blog of Denmark, September 4, 2007

Denmark has got its third ”terrorist case”. Even though the police on two previous occasions, the “cases” of Glostrup and Vollsmose, have suspected more than ten persons, they have only been able to actually obtain judgement over one of them, not for having committed any act of terror, but for allegedly wanting to be a part of such an act.

The “terrorist raids” always get such kind of media attention that they make the front pages and cause breaking news broadcasts. But when the substance is uncovered, the police charges fall apart. This means less as it is the “action” itself that keeps boiling the terror hysteria being used by undemocratic politicians in the Parliament to increase surveillance, limit freedom of expression and criminalize political work, including solidarity with liberation movements in the world.

But the real terrorists are not living in Avedoere or Vollsmose. They are to be found in the Parliament and are named Anders Fogh Rasmussen (Danish Prime Minister, translator’s note) and Per Stig Moeller (Danish Foreign Minister, translator’s note), among others. These two state terrorists are directly responsible for more than one million murders in Iraq and Afghanistan.
