Though of course on this issue the British government isn't much better. How many foreign nationals do we have held indefinitely without trail with no route for appeal now? (I think the answer is 14) At least in some cases they appear to get the choice to be deported back to their home country.

I'm pretty sure Blunkett would try it with UK citizens as well, if he thought he could get away with it. He already wants to change terrorist trials to be based on "balance of evidence" and be held in secret. He also wants to be able to withold the evidence from the defendants...
