The UK government has been urged to review its policy of detaining foreign terror suspects without trial, by the United Nations Committee on Torture.
It expressed concern at conditions in Belmarsh prison, south London, where suspects have been held indefinitely under the 2001 Anti-Terrorism Act.

The committee called for alternatives to internment to be urgently examined.

The request followed a report to the committee from the UK on its activities - its first for six years.

We've had 800 yr of habeas corpus, but it doesn't seem to have any effect when this sort of thing occurs...

Then again.. the terrorists hate our freedoms
