A key plank of the government's policy to combat terrorism is thrown out by the High Court.
Looks to me like the UK judiciary and the government are pretty diametrically oposed on this. I have to admit that I would be nervous about living in a country where the police have the right to essentially put you under house arrest just because they suspect you of something, but don't have enough evidence to charge you. And anyone who says "if you haven't done anything wrong, what do you have to fear?" simply must be ignoring the fact that administrative mistakes are being made all the time. Well done the UK judiciary for standing up for human rights.
