[snip] A 17-year-old in the UK was arrested for "collection or possession of information useful in the preparation of an act of terrorism" due to his possession of the Anarchist Cookbook. Strange that a book freely available on amazon.co.uk can get you arrested. The teenager faces two charges under the Terrorism Act 2000.
Absolutely absurd.
Absolutely retarded! I'm looking at my copy on the shelf right now - and I'm reminded that the info in it is much more likely to cause me damage than anyone I may wish to harm. Its kind of a silly book. On the other hand, the military field manuals are very good...are those available via Amazon? _______________________________________________ privacy mailing list privacy () whitestar linuxbox org http://www.whitestar.linuxbox.org/mailman/listinfo/privacy
