thinking of US and UK reminds me of "V for Vendetta", their gov'ts wage terrorism on their own soil to have more power and police state.

In terms of habeas corpus rights, the protections are stronger in the US than in England. The habeas corpus protection is explicitly noted in the Constitution. Ditto France, where the governement has rather comprehensive powers to detain suspects.

That is one of the reasons Guantanamo is where it is (outside the US).

BTW.."V for Vendetta" was fictional...just in case anyone missed that.

What do you think the Patriot Act is for? US doesn't have to keep you in the US to get around the habeas corpus, they can arrest you (even if your white red blooded american) under mere "suspicion" and ship you somehwere (Gitmo) to be never heard again.

Btw, "V for Vedetta" is where both nations are headed. They did the deed (bombings) and now making the laws to reap the rewards. any wonder why the movie came out?
