Phillip, I think the Defence Forces are taking a stance that Defence is first and foremost, to hell with the population, not realising that the first "collateral damage" suffered by will be the civvies. Their paranoia has become so acute that they have lost focus on what or who they are trying to defend and from whom. It appears more of a "mine is bigger than yours" attitude with respect to the size of the Defence Forces and stockpiles of weapons.
Take for example "Photography is Prohobited" sign (I wonder if it is still there in its original wording) - any "spy" worth his salt can wear a high-def webcam, in his sun-shades if he wants to do any of the James Bond stuff, and no one will be the wiser. So to what benefit the sign? Cheers, Gabriel de Figueiredo Melbourne - Australia. --- Philip Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > In TIMES OF INDIA May 25 there is an op-ed piece by > P.R.
