Judges liken terror laws to Nazi Germany

warned that the Government is undermining freedoms citizens have taken
for granted for centuries and that Britain risks drifting towards a
police state. One of the country's most eminent judges has said that

swiftly disappear unless Tony Blair ceases attacking the judiciary and
freedoms enshrined in the Human Rights Act.
