Stay The Course

The British have learned from the Bush administration -- never admit mistakes and never let them change what you are doing.

London's police force has reviewed its controversial "shoot-to-kill" policy and left it largely unchanged despite the killing of a Brazilian mistaken for a would-be suicide bomber, Scotland Yard said on Saturday.

Although, they clearly have not perfected the strategy yet.

"We have reviewed it and we have made one or two small changes, but the operation remains essentially the same," a Metropolitan police spokeswoman told Reuters.

Small changes like not shooting random people seven times in the melon? Sounds like a good, small change to me. Or as atrios says, "I do wish someone would give me the list of approved behaviors so I too can avoid summary execution."
