We're into barbaric violence against specific targets in the Middle East...Not psychologically emasculating a whole nation with oppressive electronic surveillance!!' Accompanying note from cartoonist states: 'John Key's use of "al Qaeda" as a caution is itself a form of terror, used in turn to justify terrible new surveillance on the NZ population.' On 2 August 2013, the Prime Minister, John Key, claimed as a justification for the GCSB Amendment Bill that the monitoring of radicalised New Zealanders with links to Al Qaeda who have attended terrorist training camps overseas was necessary. This claim resembled a pilotless 'drone', used against Al Qaeda in Pakistan, but which caused the deaths of many by 'collateral damage'. What will be such damage for New Zealand citizens?
