The link to the Guardian is weak in supporting the claim vis-a-vis the Israelis. The UK police have had a right to shoot to kill (as opposed to disable) for many many years. The Association of Chief Police Officers decide the rules engagament, and for as long as UK police have had tactical firearms units they have been trained to aim for the head if they believe that they or the public are in extreme and imminent danger. Kratos is recent (post 11 September), and the police officers invloved in that work spoke to police and security forces all over the world, Israel just being one of many. But it makes more sensational copy to cite a direct link with the Israelis (only) and claim that UK police trained with them. [[User:62.252.0.7|62.252.0.7]] 01:01, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
 
The Guardian does have a certain standing. I'm not disputing everything this anonymous user says, but anything legitimate should be included in the article, not used to justify deleting material. [[User:PatGallacher|PatGallacher]] 01:13, 2005 July 24 (UTC)
