Terrorist camps

Ever felt you missed something important? We like to think we're pretty much au currant with the actualité here at the REL offices, but sometimes snippits of news create surprise. Thus a story in the Telegraph, that embalming sheet of the upper clarses, has some guff on terror experts (whoever tf they are) warning the governance about the danger of rented planes being turned into 911 high speed flying suicide bombs. So far so - yawn - predictable. You'd have thought that if there were any self-respecting crank terrorist out there, s/he'd have done precisely this years ago by now. No matter. The arresting point comes further down in the slag report ". . .

• The European Court of Human Rights announced it would investigate the Government's plans to hold terror suspects for up to 42 days;
• The Government announced it is to build a specialist detention centre for terror suspects."

Specialist dentention centre for terror suspects????? wtf?
