Detain people against whom you have evidence. But you can't go locking people up without good, just cause. Where's that going to end? And you seem to have remarkable faith in the US intelligence services despite their recent track record - and, I note, didn't bother to respond to the point re the quality of their 'intelligence' over Iraq which led to our going in which in turn led to our becoming a bigger target.

What does scare me and cause concern is the attitude that we should simply abandon all concept of human and civil rights in order to protect ourselves from a largely non-existant threat that has been cooked up by the powers that be. I`m not saying that there is no risk of terrorist attack but various governments have attempted to sell us a steaming pile of propaganda.

Praise be to the good doctor.
An Avian flu epidemic is probably a bigger risk. But as a dad of two, lunatic drivers top my list of things to worry about, not terrorists.
