42 days?

I just took a look at the news from parliament, having been recently so engrossed in personal matters. I must admit I am liking Mr brown less and less. I disagree with him on the issue of ’42 days’ – it seems he is sacrificing civil liberties in favour of the cause of the war on terror. The moment we start to do so, the moment we start to change our way of life and our laws, the terrorists win. CaMoron (perhaps I should spell it Cameron for once) pointed out ”isn’t it cleat that terrorists want to destroy our freedom, and when we trash our liberties we do their work for them?” I can’t help but agree with him. I understand that the intelligence services sometimes need more time to question suspects, but surely the basic principles of freedom and democracy must come first?
