The book review linked to in The Grauniad looks rather interesting. It seems Gitmo and renditions is the way we're going. I'm keeping my eye on Sarkozy with regards to all this. He had the CRS stalking the sans papiers (illegal immigrants) as they were dropping their kids off at school, carting them off and leaving the kids without supervision. There was a riot in Paris when a squat caught fire because he'd cut off the electricity, despite there being families there (they were cooking with candles). Chiraq has already put steel prison containers at the airports for holding people before they're sent back to regimes which are certain to persecute them. There's plenty of instances of the UK sending political refugees back to dangerous situtations they were fleeing. There was that case of moroccan police firing on africans trying to get into a spanish enclave on the coast of Morocco. They talk about 'Fortress Europe'. 'Sateless people' on the move. Gitmo is outside international law - the book being reviewed describes it as a 'bubble', convenient for holding people indefinitely, and instilling fear in all of us. Good old Bushie.
