摘要

Londoners are living under a shadow. Nine bombs since July 7th in the hands of young men who without warning sought to take as many lives as they could-including their own-represent an alarming new threat. One lethal shooting, of an innocent Brazilian man by London's Metropolitan Police on July 22nd, bears witness to the perils of the response. In extraordinary times countries seize on extraordinary measures. The police marksmen who gunned down Jean Charles de Menezes in an underground train were acting under procedures designed to stop a suspected suicide-bomber before he detonates his charge-in the words of their former boss, to "destroy his brain instantly, utterly". In the rush to arm itself against the bombers, the government this week laid the ground for emergency anti-terror legislation that includes powers to stop those training terrorists or planning an attack, to prosecute anyone "glorifying" or fomenting terror, and possibly to let police hold suspects for up to three months. Because suicide attacks are new to Britain, it is right that the country should examine its defences. But Mr de Menezes's violent death contains two lessons-that the police and the security services will make full and frequent use of their "exceptional" powers, and that they will make mistakes.
