SNOW TREASON

Legislative musings
======================

Home then for us with the latest attempts to make sense of the latest
thinking aloud from the government over their new anti-terrorism laws.

No, it's not about introducing secret trials with investigating judges
a la France. No, it's not about extending police questioning time to
three months which is close to internment. But yes - some at least in
power want to see phone-tap evidence used in courts and yes, if we had
what Tony Blair announced on Friday we could well have stopped July 7th.

Who says? Lord Falconer the Attorney General - that's who, in a
remarkably frank interview.

I wonder what tomorrow's idea for countering the mouthy mullahs will
be? Oh - and treason's not really a goer, if anybody between here and
Thursday still thinks it is.
