The Guardian of London reports Britain is facing a near constitutional crisis following Thursday’s high court ruling condemning the government’s anti-terror laws. The court ruled the British government can not indefinitely detain foreign terrorism suspects without trying them in court. The decision came less than 24 hours after the main architect of the law, Home Secretary David Blunkett, resigned over a personal scandal. In court, one judge declared the anti-terror laws posed a threat to the British people. He said, “The real threat to the life of the nation… comes not from terrorism but from laws such as these.” Another judge said the legislation reminded him of “Soviet Russia in the Stalinist era.”
