"Lord Hoffman.. declared. "The real threat to the life of the nation, in
the sense of a people living in accordance with its traditional laws and
political values, comes not from terrorism but from laws such as these."
"Lord Scott described the regime under which suspects can be detained
indefinitely on the say-so of the home secretary with no right to know the
grounds for detention as "the stuff of nightmares, associated with France
before and during the revolution, with Soviet Russia in the Stalinist era,
and now associated, as a result of section 23 of the 2001 Act, with the
United Kingdom". "
