One question....

In listening to Mr Tony Blair's desire to see innocent people locked up for 90 days without trial (since they haven't been proven guilty, they are innocent, and many of
them will be innocent anyway...), I have but one question. How, exactly, will it help
the "fight against terrorism", or whatever it's dubbed these days? All I've heard is the brazenly repeated statement that "it's necessary", and the ridiculous claim that anyone who opposes it is "soft on terrorism". But, before we strip away yet another basic human right, and take further steps down the road towards dictatorship, can we have some evidence please? Or is Mr Tony's contempt for evidence in this case reflective of a more general feeling that it isn't necessary - hence locking people up without trial, on the whim of the police/security services/government?
