Don't quite think so;

 Rendition vs Habeas Corpus & judicial reviews.


If the police can not finish their investigation into a suspect (bomber or not) within the existing time limit but feel that allowing that person back onto the streets will not allow them to collect enough facts to arrive at a conclusion one way or the other what are they to do?


A person can be released with strict conditions attacked such as no access to phones, computer, tagging, reporting to police as and when which looks a lot like house arrest or they can be held by the police and the holding subjected to judicial review as required by the law and safeguarded by the act of Habeas Corpus. This I feel can by no stretch of the immagination be considered in the same breath as being held without trial and as long as Habeas Corpus is still in operation then I feel I must support the proposed changes to the law.


The safeguard offered by Habeas Corpus is in direct contrast with the safeguards offered by the process of Rendition   (see warning) and thought to be favoured by the CIA.
