Japan's war on terrorism

"What happened to the 17 Muslims should serve as a reminder to people that the definition of terrorism under the newly enacted [Japanese] state secrets law is so wide that any citizen could become the target of a counter-terrorism investigation. And once such an investigation is designated a "special secret" it will be impossible for citizens to demand that the police disclose what they are doing." (thanks Amir)
