Robin Wilton's esoterica

       
 

I wish I had written this...


What a great take on the same ICO 'data protection review' story I have just blogged about. And far better one-liners, too:

"RAND Corporation ... a US think tank with a name as shady as Darth Vader's boot-polish"

But it also chillingly cites DHS Chief Michael Chertoff's speech to the European Parliament last year:

'[T]he Anglo-Saxon legal principle that "it is better that a thousand guilty go unpunished lest one innocent man be wrongly punished" might be outmoded."'

Hmm. I don't know which I find more troubling: the shameless argument by false opposition, or the underlying assault on the principle.
