Except that both Blair and Bush will be gone in a few years and as soon as the Muslim terrorist threat disappears the erosion of the state will start again. That said removing double jeopardy and trial by jury are rather worrying, since I don't see that getting reversed.

Blair has ground to a halt and he's a lame, duck. I'd shelve the conspiracy theories for a while if I were you.

On topic: While I agree that profiling can be counter productive you have to admit that all the terrorists are Muslims, thats the link. You can't get away from it. They're not all Arabs, or blacks, or white, they're all Muslim. So in Britain we can discount the 58.2 million people in Britain who are not Muslim.

Just as in the same way when they were looking for an IRA plot they could discount the protasant Welsman with no Irish relatives. These things don't need to be made public, they just need to be done. The idea that the public needs to know everything going in is stupid. Thats what we have the security services for, to take care of these things so that we don't have to worry about it.
