Beamed out of Berlin, welcome to the blog I've been calling "Post-Google" since 2005. I don't post too often anymore and the things I do post are written at odd hours or on my morning commute. This is not fine writing, these are in no way essays - just sketches of thoughts. Works for me.

That's incredible. Amazing analogy with 17th-century suspension of habeas corpus by Lord Clarendon. As Ronson points out, the outrage felt then was at a time before universal suffrage, in a country that was not a democracy. It's somewhat ironic that the supposed champion of democracy should be the one to decide habeas corpus was superfluous to requirements.
