Belmarsh 'terror' detainees suffering severe mental problems. And what's the official Government response. David 'I laughed when I heard Shipman died' Blunkett calls it 'bonkers' that any of them should get released, and someone, I think it was Labour MP David Winnick (who I thought was a Tory MP, maybe I'm getting him mixed up with someone) basically telling everyone to stop moaning because it was only a dozen men who will be held indefinitely with no examination of whether there is a need to hold them. It suddenly seems that the intelligence services are infallible. What's more, if they were wrong, which they aren't, they wouldn't feel any shame about coming forward and admitting they were wrong, but they aren't, so they won't.
The noise you can hear is that of the UK falling down from the moral high ground. You would have thought that as there are only twelve men that would have made it easier to put them on trial and decide whether they should be locked up or not.
