May?
What can you say about this?"The police told me, and the security services back them up, that they may have stopped two further attempts since July 7," Blair said.
"I find it really odd that we're having to make the case that this is an issue, when virtually every week, somewhere in the world, terrorists loosely linked with the same movement are killing scores of people."
What does "may have stopped" mean? What does the fact that terrorists "loosely" (and that even Blair says that is quite striking) associated with Al-Qaeda have to do with wanting a 90 day period?
It really has come to something when John Major is the voice of reason, but there you go:
But Sir John Major condemned the plans to detain terrorist suspects for up to 90 days without charge, and warned the measure was unlikely to secure Parliamentary approval.
"I think the 90 day concept is utterly and totally unacceptable in a liberal society," the ex-prime minister told ITV1's Jonathan Dimbleby programme.
