These two civil rights groups challenged the government for the release of terror suspects from Belmarsh Prison. Two of these suspects are now on the run and could be planning attacks on Britain as I type. Should the government kick their assets or freeze them? Should the public now stop all donations? If anybody loses their life over this should they be charged with corporate manslaughter?

Ken
I would rather be locked up than blown up. These so called civil liberty groups are endangering the British public not civil servants.
On another note, I did not mention muslims, you brought it up. Another example of islamanoia, I think.

"Human Rights" has to go.

YOU could be planning attacks, for all I know.
Should YOU be locked up if I think that's what you're doing ? Should you be SHOT IN THE HEAD because your neighbour is a suspect ?
Amnesty is protecting ALL uk citizens from being targeted by unaccountable civil servants who can decide to lock anybody up because of secret 'evidence'.
(or shoot them at stockwell tube station because they live upstairs from another suspect)
We need protection from our own government, whether we are currently 'suspects' or not.
Some of these same people were responsible for the 'evidence' that Weapons of Mass Destruction existed in Iraq. That evidence was false, and the evidence against these two detainees might be just as imaginary!
Since 9/11 and 7/7, muslims and other arabs have been targeted disproportionately for this kind of attention, because they 'fit the profile'.
However, neither David Copeland nor Tim McVeigh were 'of arabic appearance', and they weren't muslim. After the next bombing by a middle-class white guy (or whatever your 'type' is) YOU could be the one being locked up (or shot).
Maybe Amnesty will be there to help you.

Oh God yes please I would like to vote to live in a totalitarian state where there is no check on liberties, human rights and all govt officials and civil servants are allowed to do as they see fit to "protect" me from myself or any other person...dear God man - democracy is a hard fought and more difficult won concept than you can begin to consider. From the days of the Magna Carta to the signing of the Human Rights Act by way of the right to vote and whatever other hard won democratic and limited rights granted to the common majority each has been fought and won to protect the mass against the corruption of the few. Feel free to tear it up and thorw it away but be aware that it will still not protect you from those hell bent on commiting atrocities and that moreover when you are the last one left , remember there will be no one there to speak for you...back to your books and think on some mor ebefore your knee jerk panic of a fratcional percintile of being injured by terrorist incidents causes a complete blackout of reason....
PS corporate manslaughter against civil liberty groups - does that mean ti should also apply to the farmers who poison and pollute rivers, companies who cause train crashes and govt ministers who send the army off to war under false pretences?? Just asking

Ban them the useless namby pamby lot of them. They cause more problems than they solve and the rest of us have to put up with the consequences that arise from these people meddling with the fabric of our lives.
