Should the government have used terrorism law against Palestine Action?
A disclosed MI5 document indicates that the basis for proscription may be weak

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
