    "content": "they came up with the Patriot Act. Ever since 911, you can bear with me that acts of terrorism in the USA have reduced tremendously. The only thing we need to do as a House is to sit and look at the laws very soberly, indeed, that would make the Government not be able to fight terror. All the things that we have to do is to make sure that we de-politicise security. The minute we put politics in security matters, we will be heading the wrong direction. I can assure you that both CORD and Jubilee must fight together to make sure that this menace of terrorism is wiped out from this country. The only way to do it is to look at these laws. This Bill that has been proposed, yes it could be having some problems but we cannot condemn the entire Bill wholesale. Indeed, somebody talked about it being draconian. I want to just quote a very small one here on the Penal Code. It states: “The Bill seeks to amend the Act to make provision for the offence of a public officer aiding or facilitating the commission of a felony.” Surely for heaven’s sake, what is draconian with that? So, these are the issues that we must look into."
