The Archbishop of York has warned that Britain was in danger of "coming close to a police state" in the wake of the arrest of suspected terrorists in Birmingham.

Dr John Sentamu, who fled Uganda in the 1970s, criticised 90-day detention, likening it with his home country under the tyrannical rule of Idi Amin ...

He continued: "The Home Secretary has not produced the evidence that shows that in 90 days you're capable of getting somebody prosecuted.

"Why does he want these days, so the police do what? Gather more evidence? To me that becomes, if you're not very careful, very close to a police state in which they pick you up and then they say later on we'll find evidence against you. That's what happened in Uganda with Idi Amin." ...

1. Wow, you know things are bad when your "justice" system acts like Idi Amin's...

...Curious too, because Idi Amin was given exile in Saudi Arabia, which in today's papers, was directly tied to 9/11 involvment with two of the 9/11 highjackers as Saudi Agents.

Small world, ain't it?
