Suspicious

Something I missed yesterday: it appears that someone broke into the house of Ahmed Zaoui's lawyer, but mysteriously didn't take anything. Given that hearings into Zaoui's Security Risk Certificate will start next month, and the SIS are known for this sort of thing, it looks just a teensy bit suspicious.

Some will no doubt cry paranoia, but in a country where the intelligence services are allowed to break into people's homes and steal things solely on their own say-so, and have abused their powers in the past to target those engaged in legitimate protest activity against the government, you can hardly blame people for being suspicious. And if you want to remove the suspicion, there's a simple solution: remove the law, and subject the SIS to a proper oversight regime, rather than the present joke.
