Police Keeping Most Plot Suspects in Custody Without Charges
2006-08-13
British police have prolonged the detention of all but one of two dozen suspects accused of plotting to explode multiple airplanes destined for the United States, authorities said Saturday. A British court Friday evening approved a request to keep 22 of the suspects in custody until Wednesday even though they have not been charged, and one suspect's hearing was adjourned until Monday. Another was released without charge, according to Scotland Yard officials.

A police spokeswoman said the Terrorism Act of 2000 allowed authorities to detain the suspects for 28 days without charging them. The names and ages of 19 of the suspects have been released. All have Muslim names, and most are in their twenties and live in London. Intelligence officials have said that more than half of the suspects have family ties to Pakistan.

#2  Brits = Diego Garcia, with no ACLU reps to help you, an island surrounded by sharks and hundreds of miles from land, and swarthy men from less-civilized lands to help you talk

#1  Tell the folks what's behind door number 2.

Yes, you too can enjoy a complete Caribbean vacation, all expenses paid, to the wonderful shores of Guantanamo, just as the tourist season begins in the region. You'll be cater with specially prepared and culturally sensitive meals. The concierge and guest attendants will be there at all times to see to your personal security. You will not want for attention.

All this is yours just for trying to 'boom' some American travelers over the Atlantic. The accommodations will be provided in comfort unparallel [compared to other prisons] until the its safe out there for everyone. Just tell your current management that you want Gitmo rather than fish and bangers.
