They just got a different tool to use than we do: They kill innocent lives to achieve objectives. That's what they do. And they're good. They get on the TV screens and they get people to ask questions about, well, you know, this, that or the other. I mean, they're able to kind of say to people: Don't come and bother us, because we will kill you. Bush - Joint News Conference with Blair - 28 July '06

Jean Charles de Menezes Family Campaign Launch

Jean Charles de Menezes Family Campaign: The last month has been an extremely busy one for the family and friends of Jean. They returned from Brazil at the end of August and are now in the process of launching their campaign for justice. Their struggle for finding out the truth continues, with every day bringing more revelations about the conduct of the police both on the day and after Jean's killing. Your continued support is both needed and greatly appreciated. Thanks to all who have donated money, written to MPs, organised benefits, your kindness and efforts are very touching to the family of Jean Charles.
