What is truly terrifying is the question mark that hangs over the identity of these civilians by alluding that they are terrorists.

‘Were you targeting civilians?’ asks Jane (her *only* vaguely shirty question directed towards the israelis) no. replies commander A. B. or C ‘they were terrorists’

Exactly where were these terrorists? Miles away from their area of jurisdiction in open waters.

However if somehow someone is considered a terrorist we have free reign to descend on them any where in the planet (our government legitimizing that argument by practicing it)

OH but they were making home movies about how if they were to die their mother and sons should try to consider them as matryrs. hook line sinker its a suicide mission therefore kill them in the middle of the ocean. therefore its all okay. cos there’s only one thing that worse than gun slinging off the leash commando units and that’s terrorists

Gun blazing commando units incidentally who are training in the opening sequence in HOW TO BOARD CIVILIAN SHIPS? Yet panorama is too busy telling us how AMAZING it is to HAVE THE ONLY EVER EXCLUSIVE ACCESS TO THIS WEIRD AND FREAKISH and ‘somewhat incriminating surely? practice that it DOES NO INVESTIGATION WHATSOEVER- asks NO QUESTIONS and uses the SHIP FOR HER OPENING PIECE TO CAMERA – was that a joke?

grr… indeed.
