Hoon defends giant database plan
[Lib Dem community spokeswoman Julia Goldsworthy] asked: “How much more control can they have? How far is he prepared to go to undermine civil liberties?” Mr Hoon interjected: “To stop terrorists killing people in our society, quite a long way actually. If they are going to use the internet to communicate with each other and we don’t have the power to deal with that, then you are giving a licence to terrorists to kill people.” He added: “The biggest civil liberty of all is not to be killed by a terrorist.”
