There was a vote on this in the UK the other day, and apparently (according to Blair, SkyNews and BBC News 24) the public says the result was not what they wanted.
- Is it right to detain someone for 3 months without charge even if it turns out they're not a terrorist?
- How about for a month instead? (it's currently 14 days)
What do you think?

Hey to slightly hijack - I was listening to Blair speaking to Parliament the other day, and not being from the UK I was a little confused. He made a comment, and it sounded like everyone in the room said this:
"Muh-Muh-Muh" what's that mean? |

Bah I really hate that rag. Looking at that link reminded me why Yikes. Really classy associating the opponents of this bill with Osama bin Laden. I think the only reason people read it nowadays is to beat off to the Page 3 girls. Isn't the Sun a Rupert Murdoch-owned publication? I recall reading that it was, and that article makes it come off more wacko than Fox News. |

My friend George does it whenever he wants. You never let me do anything! I hate you!" _____________________

I didn't see the bit you mean, but it was probably 'Hear, Hear' - which means 'I agree with what you are saying'. The way they say it, it comes out like 'Muh-Muh'. |
