THE HAGUE, 06/06/08 - The National Anti-terrorism Coordinator (NCTb) has decided to withdraw personal protection from MP Rita Verdonk. She is baffled, she said on TV programme Knevel&Van de Brink.
According to Verdonk, Justice Minister Ernst Hirsch Ballin informed her by letter last Tuesday that her bodyguards would be withdrawn on 4 June. She is only still being 'escorted.' This means that instead of permanent bodyguards, she will only have a car behind her following at a distance.
Verdonk is the leader and founder of Proud of the Netherlands (TON). The party, currently running second in the polls, was set up in April. Verdonk is critical of Islam.
Verdonk has decided to halt a tour through the country with immediate effect. This is due to the "incomprehensible and irresponsible" decision of NCTb, she said. "I feel powerless."
'Iron Rita' also complained she was left in the dark about the reasons for the NCTB's decision. She said she asked Premier Jan Peter Balkenende for the underlying documents based on which the NCTb determined that the threat level against her had declined. "But I am not getting these documents."
Verdonk says she is in danger. Recently, she was 'welcomed' on a visit to Friesland by far-left activists carrying banners with texts like 'clear Rita away.' And in her street, three Muslims were recently arrested who were taking photos of her house, she told Knevel&Van de Brink.
The NCTb confirmed that the guarding of Verdonk "has changed." A spokeswoman: "There is a new mix of measures, geared to the current threat level." NCTB chief Tjibbe Jourstra himself added on Radio 1: "Fear is a subjective emotion".
The conservatives (VVD) and Party for Freedom (PVV) - electoral competitors of TON - want clarification from Hirsch Ballin. Verdonk is exposed to a high threat level, PVV leader Geert Wilders warned. The Christian democrats (CDA), Labour (PvdA), leftwing Greens (GroenLinks) and centre-left D66 also want more details.
Verdonk, when she was still Integration Minister, came to be closely guarded because there was a realistic threat of an attempt being made on her life. As MP as well, the threat remained of such a nature that bodyguards were considered necessary. But NCTb sees no need for bodyguards any more, despite the recent political murders of Islam critics Pim Fortuyn (2002) and Theo van Gogh (2004).
Verdonk said yesterday in De Telegraaf newspaper: "Muslim radicals and leftwing extremists know one thing: If I come to power, then I will tackle them." (...) "I do not feel safe." (...) "You do not have to google for long to come across very ugly things about me!"
Ping
It appears that Middle East oil money has made it’s way into the upper echelons of the Dutch government. It also appears that Ms. Verdank is a dead woman - at the hands of her own gevernment no less.
If they allow her to get killed it will rid the government of an embarrassment and intimidate others who have misgivings about Islamization.

“..Justice Minister Ernst Hirsch Ballin informed her by letter last Tuesday that her bodyguards would be withdrawn on 4 June.”
Ballin in the pocket of the Muslims? Check his bank account.
Pas op, meid.
“noted” he said, as he finished cleaning the last of his fine arms.
thanks knighthawk.
