Who's really soft on terror
I make the following observations to those who have said that the Conservative Party are “weak” on terrorists following the vote against locking up suspects for 90 days without charges being brought:
• Several Conservative MPs have lost their lives due to terrorism many more have fought against it in Northern Ireland.
• Not one shred of evidence was given to us that 90 days was required. Not one single case was sited where holding people for 90 days would have made a difference.
• Blair could almost certainly have won a compromise of 40 days but instead preferred to lose then paint opposition parties as weak on terrorism.
• Having released numerous IRA terrorists from jail Mr "Tough on terror" Blair is about to grant an amnesty to IRA terrorists on the run. Meanwhile British soldiers who served in Northern Ireland in the 70s could face prosecution for carrying out their duties.
• Labour in opposition repeatedly voted against the Prevention of Terrorism Act.
Blair has failed to do a number of steps which could prevent terrorism:
• Allowing phone tap evidence to be used by the courts.
• Repealing the Human Rights Act which Blair signed only to discover that it would prevent the government from throwing suspected terrorists out of the country or keeping them locked up until they left of their own accord.
New Labour – soft on preventing terrorism strong on preventing liberty

Something about your word play...first you mention repealing the human rights act, and then next you say 'strong on preventing liberty'.
