The retention of internet records would not stop terrorist attacks

'Our values will long outlast theirs" is a powerful proclamation
against terrorism with which the government should be rightly pleased.
But whether Tony Blair's words are anything more than a catchy slogan
will be put to the test today when Charles Clarke meets his European
counterparts in Brussels to thrash out a response to the London
bombings.
In recent days the home secretary has been touting the notion that our
phone, email and internet records should be archived for at least a
year for use by security services and police. Clarke believes that
mobile and internet service providers should create databases
containing information on who we email, who emails us, who we phone,
where we use our mobile, our account details and the internet sites we
visit. That information would then be made available to police in other
EU countries. The idea is known as "communications data retention", and
has for many years been a contentious law-enforcement ambition.

Just think, Nixon would not even have to break into the
Watergate to spy on people.
