The Chinese are now adopting a media campaign to neutralise another media campaign.

This is from the link above:

“Henceforth, he said, whenever the service asks him to sign warrants for communication intercepts, he would do so on watermarked documents which would be numbered and would bear his signature, date and time. He had done so, he said, not because there was some irregularity in the past, but to have stronger safeguards. It was made clear that one could not have a situation where the security service started intercepts without permission and only sought authorisation when the intercepts produced results.”

Why all this fuss about watermarked documents, then?

It is imperative that Joseph Muscat clears all these questions.

And will the PN please step up their criticism before it will be too late? I know that Jason Azzopardi is doing his best but the PN as a whole needs to get tougher. It’s not as if they don’t know with whom we are dealing here.

Labour has already shown us what they are capable of in their first 100 days in office.

What on earth does he mean that the Secret Service should not be run by police? Is he suggesting the birth of a new policing agency such as the American CIA or FBI.

I should hope so.. He can’t mean having the service run by government.

There is no reason to believe otherwise. The fact that Minister Joe Mizzi recently bought himself a piece of equipment worth €40,000 from public funds to ensure that his phones are not being recorded just shows how much he knows about the capabilities that are around.

Could we have a reference?

If only more people could realise that this talk of CHANGE for change’s sake is not only hollow but also very dangerous.

I am one step closer to understanding the meaning of the term ‘liberal conservative’.
