War on Terror and Civil Liberties in the UK - And 42 day detention for terrorist suspects in the UK

For a lively discussion addressing the threat of terrorism without trampling on civil rights check out this week's Prime Minster's Questions . The debate between PM Gordon Brown and Tory Leader David Cameron is quite topical and interesting.

Here are some links:

By the by C-Span shows Prime Minster's Questions three times a week. On Wednesdays at 6am (CST) and Sundays at 8pm & 11pm (CST). Prime Minster's Question is truly democracy in action as the various UK poltical parties hash out their constituent's issues/interests/concerns face to face..........................And they are so polite as they metaphorically slash each other to bits. It is so British, and I love it.


Also it is interesting to watch both Mr. Brown and Mr. Cameron as they maneuver and stretch as leaders of their respective parties. And though I tend to be on the more liberal side of the political spectrum I must admit that Mr. Cameron is turning out to be quite the political shinning star. Bravo Mr. Cameron.
