Re: How many days?

frankly i think the way they've gone about this whole thing is absurd.

there was already a 14-day detention without trial period - anything beyond 4 or 5 days obviously means they're being held while police work out exactly what they've done. if the police think 90 days is how long they need, then it would be insane to agree with the principle that in exceptional circumstances people can be detained for extended periods without trial, and then set the precise deadline at something considered useless by the people affected by it.

there's no real moral distinction, to my mind, between 14 days and 90, and certainly none between 60 and 90. I'd rather the limit was at 72 hours or such, but if they must insist on this extended detention period, they might as well make it a useful one.
