Real journalists are a dying bread. Just watch the lamestream.

Schedule 7 seems horrendously ambiguous. They can hold you for nine hours without a reasonable suspicion that you are involved in any criminal activity...but it must not be used arbitarily and is solely for determining if somebody is a witch. err I mean if somebody is involved in terrorism.

I'm not really sure how you can detain somebody without suspicion and simultaneously demonstrate that it wasn't arbitrary or unconnected to terrorism. Where exactly is the accountability here. Oh. There isnt any. Hearing the Home Office dismiss this whole affair by saying that it is up to the Police to decide how they use (misuse?) their powers is quite frightening. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

The English have been doing this for quite some time. Remember the Prevention of Terrorism Act which gave UK authorities the right to hold suspects without charges for up to a week? And they were found to also torture people held during that time, which was widely publicized in the Sheridan movie about the Guilford Four in 1975.

The good thing is that people are really pissed about this. Even if they don't like Greenwald or the Guardian a lot of people are coming out and speaking up. So this incident might end up being a good thing, if it results in change.

The debate afterwords does my head in. Fucking idiots.

git yo to gitmo. welcome to planet hell.

I love what the woman at the end is saying... but are we sure that is not Jim Carey?
