Indeed. I totaly agree with the 90day terrorism bill (even if I do detest Blair, but no point voting against him for the hell of it when hes actualy talking sense)
BUT measures have to be put in so that the police can't abuse the terrorism act, the prime example of it is of course the guy at the labour party conference who was held under the terrorism act. Completly unapropriate and quite frankly an abuse of power.
