"... the timing is ALWAYS JUST RIGHT" In these Orwellian times, I don't take anything at face value anymore. A government that is violating the very constitution it is charged to protect does not deserve to be trusted. As Trotsky says, isn't it fascinating how well timed such events are: Her is the quote of John Reid, the Home Secretary on August 1, 2006 regarding the ruling below: "We are at a sustained high level of threat from a terrorist attack - put simply, an attack is highly likely" And here from the BBC is the article about the ruling "Ministers lose terror law appeal news.bbc.co.uk Ministers have lost their court appeal against a ruling which said six control orders used against terror suspects broke European human rights laws. Control orders are used where there is not enough evidence to prosecute. The Court of Appeal upheld the decision made by a judge earlier this year that orders made against six suspects were too severe and should be quashed. The orders, which kept the men inside for 18 hours a day, are being changed but the government is to appeal again. The court did allow one part of Home Secretary John Reid's appeal against an earlier ruling which said another suspect had not been given a fair hearing when put on a control order. 'Over the line' Earlier this year, Mr Justice Sullivan ruled that control orders on six suspects were so strict that they broke Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which outlaws indefinite detention without trial. ..." And just in the nick of time, the man is proven correct.
