...considers lobby group GetUp "a gathering of the converted," but it's an e-gathering with punch. In two years it's amassed 211,000 members. Members sign petitions, write letters and donate: earlier this year, GetUp raised $250,000 in 72 hours for a TV ad campaign. And this week the group will launch howshouldivote.com.au, offering an online survey to match voters with the candidate who best suits their views.

"Look, I was not as artful or as well spoken as I could have...

Instead, it packed a hefty punch, revealing a new assessment of the scale of the terror threat facing the U.K. and the conflicting demands placed on his organization as it works to counter that threat. The tensions between terrorism prevention and the protection of civil liberties were already set to dominate the U.K.'s political agenda in a week that will see a report published about the shooting by London's anti-terror police in 2005 of an innocent Brazilian electrician...
