When I saw an interview with the Icelandic PM he seemed more annoyed that we'd used anti-terror legislation against their country, supposedly putting it on a par with Al Qaeda.

He evidently doesn't realise that the legislation was actually intended to allow the government and the police to do whatever they want whenever they want. Loads of people have been prevented from demonstrating under it, all dissent,be it against government or private industry,is now covered by the legislation.

We are all terrorists now.

Yes, and that was the intent of all those laws when they were enacted.  You (we) cannot breathe without legally being called terrorists.  

"Paranoia strikes deep,
 into your life it will creep,

 It starts when you're always afraid,
 to step out of line, the man comes,
 to take you away."

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
