[edit] Your edit to Nelson Mandela and msg. on my talkpage

Hi, this was your edit to the page:

Tony Blair is currently pushing through legislation 2006 which will make it a criminal offense to praise Nelson Mandela, since he was originally catalogued as a terrorist.

While Mandela was classified as a terrorist, he is no longer regarded as a terrorist. The law that the government is passing would not be with retrospective effect. Also, on Wikipedia, we follow a strict policy of verifiability. Conjectural inferences like the one above do not stand scrutiny unless verified a credible and reputed independent source. btw, when you add a message to a talk page, add ~~~~ at the end of the message - that automatically adds your signature and the time. --Gurubrahma 12:30, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

With respect, that is false, as there is no a priori way of knowing in advance who will in future cease to be regarded as a terrorist. If someone is prosecuted now for lauding say bin Laden, then later bin Laden is no longer regarded as a terrorist, that term in prison will still have been served. If you want verification, look at any critique of the legislation. Note also that Mandela regards Bush as a Terrorist. The law sucks. Egnever 17:21, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
