Down in sunny, liberal Brighton today a total of nine people were aquitted of conspiracy to cause £200k-worth of damage to an electronics factory. They fully admitted breaking in at night to destroy anything they could, but argued that they were preventing war crimes in Palestine.

Anyone care to offer an opinion on this?
