  LONDON (AFP) - Britain's government received a boost for its controversial policy of detaining foreign terrorism suspects without trial, when a court rejected an attempt by 10 detainees to win freedom.
The High Court in London turned down an appeal by lawyers acting for the 10 men against a ruling that Home Secretary David Blunkett had acted properly in deciding they were a risk to national security, and thus should be detained. The ruling was made by the Special Immigration Appeals Commission, or SIAC, a secretive legal tribunal which decides on the status of foreign nationals facing detention or deportation on the grounds of national security.
The men's lawyers had argued it was wrong to hold them under evidence which might have been gathered using torture or ill-treatment at US detention centres such as Guantanamo Bay in Cuba or Bagram airbase in Afghanistan (news - web sites). -- Finally, some sanity in a court system. Honestly...who really wants these FREAKS out? Andrew B.
