the UK government pushed through plans for control orders, despite a rebellion in the Lords. Under these control orders, suspects can be placed under house arrest without having seen the evidence against them. UK Groups such as Liberty and Justice are against them but some of their arguments are on principle. Bearing in mind the quote Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom: it is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves. is it possible to argue from practicality? Can one say that it is possible to combat modern extremist terrorism without compromising on tradition rights? Can anyone suggest any web pages with arguments about practicality? Showing that restrictions are unnecessary would seem to me quite a strong rebuttal to a government which argues that they are.

It desensitizes you. _______________________________________________ Libnw mailing list Libnw@immosys.com List info and subscriber options: http://immosys.com/mailman/listinfo/libnw Archives: http://immosys.com/mailman//pipermail/libnw
