Let children not be killed, let the judges rest too

Even a person's worst nightmares cannot keep pace with imagining side by side the actions planned by those who tried to put Turkey into a "cage."

"Detonating the bombs placed in the submarine museum at the hours when the most child visitors are present."

The aim considered in this timing is for the effect of the action to be greater, and for the image of a "spoiled Islamic terror threat" in the time of the AK Parti to be created through an Islamic organization used as a front onto which the incident would be pinned.

God forbid, the carrying out of this action went far beyond being a rumor or simple gossip. The planted bombs were found when they were on the verge of being detonated, but the bombs found were handed over to the very authorities that ought to have been the suspects in the incident, and they, for some reason, immediately destroyed these bombs that were of evidentiary nature.

And what else was going to be done...

Moreover, all of this was not planned long before the Ergenekon operation began, but just this past March. The aim is to create an atmosphere of chaos against the government and bring about its overthrow. What has been done within this scope so far, what has come to light, is more than enough to show that this plan is no child's play. The arsenals, information and networks of relations that have come to light are enough to explain that all these plans were not made just for fantasy's sake.

That is, the threat is not a mere delusion; before us is a terrorist organization that has by no means given up its habits and insistence, a murder network so insidious and desperate that, to seize power, it would brutally kill children and shift responsibility for it onto others. The criminal network, which murders not only people but also the truths about the people it has killed, and which can plan a multi-stage murder by also blunting and distorting the consciousness this will create in people, pushes all the limits of evil.

Those who utter any sentence that softens the threat posed by this network, yes, truly, cannot escape being under the accusation of collaboration.

Today the country's still most urgent and most important threat is the power struggle this network carries on with brutal methods.

The struggle trying to expose this network is the struggle of "let children not be killed." This struggle is the struggle of "let people not be made the plaything of dark power games through serial murders by unknown perpetrators."

It is not possible for such a dark network to make plans so recklessly without support from within the army, the media, the university, society, politicians, the police and, most important of all, the judiciary.

That the media, which for days saw no news value at all in the Kafes plan published by the newspaper Taraf, has become fixated on the wiretapping incident in the judiciary and gone chasing the image of a "civilian despotism" is, at the very least, a clear indication of collaboration with this network.

They neither fear God nor feel shame before His servants. The Ergenekon case has already gone down in history as the case in which the rights of the defendants have been most meticulously observed by Turkish standards. Considering the organized nature of the alleged crimes and the evidence at hand, the number of detainees is not at all too many. Unless it is well pursued and exposed, there is the massacre of tender children and the eternal silencing of millions of people in Turkey. It is not possible for a person of conscience who looks at this network's intentions and plans, and even at the utterly real performance it has shown so far to carry them out, to describe the pursuit in this process as "despotism."

It is understood that the murder network that has been exposed is still active and its activities continue, and moreover, while seeing itself as the secret power of the country and playing to that, equating them as if they were the innocent and democratic opponents of the government with the victims of 28 February...

Especially those who go in for a kind of self-appointed arbitership by trying to explain the crimes of which the detainees are defendants as "being opposed to the government" either do not know how to count or have never seen despotism.

There have been countless wiretapping cases in this country so far, and members of the judiciary have displayed a scandalous indifference about it. Doesn't their suddenly turning into heroes of private life and freedom when it comes to the Ergenekon case sufficiently explain why they too must be among the usual suspects within the scope of this case? Do those who raise hell because five or ten members of the judiciary were wiretapped, and by court order at that, take into account that Levent Ersöz, one of the most important defendants of this case, is being tried, let alone for his other cases, also for his unauthorized, unlawful and countless wiretap recordings?

And is it noticed what kind of "exemption" or "immunity" they claim with the outrage displayed against the wiretapping of judiciary members?

Yet, everything aside, the most reasonable and justified ground for wiretapping a judge or any person whatsoever is amply present in this case: Let children not be killed!
