What I don't understand is this: if Brown honestly thinks "there will come a time when it's difficult for the police to do a sophisticated investigation within 28 days" then why stop at 42? Why not 90, as Blair originally wanted, or even 150? Hell, why don't we just bang them up indefinitely - surely there's a spare bit of land on the Isle of Man?
There again, it could be argued that if the terrorists hate us because of our freedoms, it makes perfect sense for us to become less free.
