Does that include members of the UK government? http://aangirfan.blogspot.com/2005/08/uk-killed-up-to-13-million-people.html According to new research, Britain bears ¡°significant responsibility¡± since 1945 for the direct or indirect deaths of 8.6 million to 13.5 million people throughout the world from military interventions and at the hands of regimes strongly supported by Britain. http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,3604,1576613,00.html The UK government will lock away for five years anyone who " glorifies, exalts or celebrates " a terrorist act committed in the past 20 years. Simon Jenkins, in the Guardian, lists some possible terrorist acts, some going back more than 20 years: 1. Bomber Harris's flattening of German cities in the second world war was specifically described by Churchill as " simply for the sake of increasing terror " . 2. The bombing of Hiroshima was a politically motivated assault on people and property. 3. Operation Shock and Awe against Baghdad in March 2003, in which Britain participated, was intended to terrify the civilian population. Other terrorist acts not mentioned by Jenkins: 4. Operation Gladio involved the setting off of bombs. Run by NATO and Washington, right-wing militias reportedly carried out acts of terrorism and electoral subversion in states such as Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Turkey and West Germany. Guardian 24 6 2000: " A 300-page report (to the Italian parliament) says that the United States was responsible for inspiring a " strategy of tension " in which indiscriminate bombing of the public and the threat of a rightwing coup were used to stabilise centre-right political control of the country. " General Gianadelio Maletti, former head of SID, the Italian military counter-intelligence service, revealed to a Milan court in March 2001 that US intelligence services had instigated and abetted rightwing terrorism in Italy during the 1970s.

" 8. Britain was the first country in the world to bomb innocent people from the air.

THE BRITISH ARMY - LONG HISTORY OF USING TORTURE http://aangirfan.blogspot.com/2005/01/british-army-long-history-of-using.html KENYA The British used beatings, sexual humiliation, hooding, sleep deprivation, and bombarding with white noise. 32 Whites were killed by the Mau Mau during the five-year state of emergency. More whites died in traffic accidents in the capital city, Nairobi. Kenyans were forced into concentration camps and routinely tortured. Some 150,000 Africans died as a direct result of the British policy. There was a " constant stream of reports of brutalities by police, military and home guards " , wrote Canon Bewes, a British missionary. " Some of the people had been using castration instruments and two men had died under castration. " Other brutalities included slicing off ears, boring holes in eardrums, flogging people to death, pouring paraffin over suspects and setting them alight and burning eardrums with cigarettes. A British district officer admitted, " There was outright abuse of power and some of the crimes committed were horrific. One day six Mau Mau suspects were brought into a police station in the neighbouring district to mine. The British police inspector in charge lined them up against a wall and shot them. " A mobile gallows travelled the country. Over 1,000 were hanged, their bodies displayed at crossroads and market places. MALAYSIA The British used terror in Malaya. This involved aerial bombing, massacres of villagers, dictatorial police measures and the " resettlement " of hundreds of thousands of people. CYPRUS During the state of emergency, from 1952 to 1957, the British army used torture. Cypriot Nicos Koshies: " They took me to the Special Branch and they started beating me. They took off all my clothes, they tied my hands and feet. They asked somebody to come in. He was taking a stick to put up my bottom, he was putting cloths in water and putting them on my face so I could not breathe, he threw me down and danced on my stomach when he was wearing boots. After 12 days I could not recognise myself. " James Callaghan in the House of Commons: " On 29 June 1957 an inquest was held into the death of Nicos Georghiou. Dr Clearkin said in evidence that bruises in the head were sufficiently severe to have caused the injuries to the brain, perhaps bumping the head against a hard object.
