The Army whistleblower said: ‘It is quite obvious that our activities resulted in the monitoring of the UK population… monitoring the social media posts of ordinary, scared people. These posts did not contain information that was untrue or co-ordinated – it was simply fear.’
Last night, former Cabinet Minister Mr Davis, a member of the Privy Council, said: ‘It’s outrageous that people questioning the Government’s policies were subject to covert surveillance’ – and questioned the waste of public money.
Military Intelligence - The ultimate oxymoron at the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill.
We are for a strong military that is:
- loyal
- well led,
- well trained,
- better equipped then our competitors,
- obeys the constitution,
- is subject to civilian leadership
- is used sparingly,
- fights to win, then gets out.
We are not for stupidity. Too much of what the military does falls outside of these bounds, and as much as we love the military - they must be called out for it.
