一切以反恐為先？

Police shooting - the discrepancies
Menezes' family calls for justice

真是鋒迴路轉！

BBC把官方報告及洩漏的情報清晰地作了比較，對比頗為驚人，要是情報屬實的話，警方並非因反恐心切而殺錯良民，而是一開始就判斷錯誤，認定Menezes是恐佈份子，下令拘捕，但前線人員誤判Menezes要發動炸彈將其槍殺！

Initial account:
The man was under observation because he emerged from a block of flats in Scotia Road, Tulse Hill, where police believed a man connected with the four attempted bombings on the London Tube and bus network on 21 July was staying.

Leaked evidence:
Police staking out the flats, where Mr Menezes lived, decided he matched the description of one of the suspects they were seeking, according to the documents.

跟着的官方說法是因Menezes穿着可疑，不理警戒逃跑；但Leaked evidence卻說他只穿着牛仔外套，以正常步伐進入地鐵站，當警察警戒時還合作地走向對方，反遭制伏後被槍殺。

更嚴重的問題還在後頭:

And the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has said Scotland Yard "initially resisted" the regulator's attempts to launch an investigation into the shooting.

Ian Blair 的擧動是真的純綷以反恐為先？還是只為了掩飾警方的錯誤？無論是何種原因，這件事已牽引到英國警方及政府的誠信問題，為反恐而不惜犧牲公正及人權，還運用權力掩飾真相 - 最初的官方版本並未動搖民眾對"嚴打"恐佈份子政策的支持(因Menezes的確顯得可疑)，但Leaked evidence顯示警方的調查及辦案能力有誤，警權過大與國民生活有衝突；失去信任下反恐及種族政策的方針將受挑戰，這是英國政府，還有西方各國需面對的問題。

畢竟，事件發生在法制完備，訊息自由流通的民主國度而非遠在仍混亂中的伊拉克，殺錯一人已足以哄動全國，豈可用這種拙劣技倆抹殺事實？
