The Guardian: The director of public prosecutions, Sir Ken Macdonald, put himself at odds with the home secretary and Downing Street last night by denying that Britain is caught up in a “war on terror” and calling for a “culture of legislative restraint” in passing laws to deal with terrorism.
The use of the term War on Terror only serves to justify in the minds of the terrorists that they really are waging a holy war rather than committing and conspiring to commit what are essentially criminal acts.
