Heroic Old Brit "Law Lord" ...
Lord Steyn. 
Claire Dyer, the Guardian's legal editor, today tells us 'how it is'. Here's her headline.
** Britain accused of creating terror fears ~
Law lord says. **
UK and US tried to bend international law with Belmarsh and Guantánamo detentions.
And you thought it was only in America where 'Big-Brother' ruled, eh? Well, think again. Anything Bush can do, his 'blood-brother' Blair can do too; so he does.
Now, read today's first 'teaser'.
** One of Britain's most eminent judges yesterday accused the British and US governments of whipping up public fear of terrorism, and of being determined "to bend established international law to their will and to undermine its essential structures". **
The eminent judge referred to, is Lord Steyn. He's one of the longest serving 'law lords' in Britain's top court -- the House of Lords. He knows all about the 'law' and he knows all about 'justice' too. Moreover, he's not afraid to say so. But, to this once proud nation's undying shame, the Blair bully-boys have seen to it that this heroic, honest & true Old Brit - has had his 'card marked'.
Witness as follows.
** He was forced to step down last year from the panel of judges hearing the challenge to the lawfulness of detention without trial for foreign terrorist suspects after the government took exception to earlier remarks he had made on the subject. **
This is more than disgusting; it's frightening. Talk out of turn and you'll pay the price. This is the horrifying reality of 21st century, so-called civilized Great Britain -- under the boot of Blair.
However, as heroes have a habit of doing, Lord Steyn still speaks out. Here's an example.
** Lord Steyn said Lord Bingham's judgment in the Belmarsh case, pointing out the "wholly democratic mandate" given to judges by parliament in the Human Rights Act, had contained the "most eloquent and magisterial rebuke" to an attorney general since Lord Denning quoted the words of Thomas Fuller: "Be you ever so high, the law is above you." **
Do you hear that, Mr Tony-little-Hitler-Blair? The law is above you. Forget it at your peril, for the British public at large never will. Nor will any fair minded people from further afield. Remember this, dear Tone; the world today is a global village.
Furthermore, the global village already has it's global idiot. The last thing it needs is another.

OK, Elaine. I'm all ears. Tell me how do make the quotes look like yours.
Richard,
The Global Village Idiot.
Priceless.
Thank you.
Heh. I'm glad you liked that one, Cosmic. Heh. ;^)
Your observations are spot on as usual, Richard.
The above comment was mine, oops.
Thanks, Doug. I do my best.
Woo hoo, Rchard and Lord Steyn! There are a few heroes left. (And you do indeed thunderate, as Wolcott so aptly put it.)
"The global village already has it's global idiot." Classic indeed.
Thanks, everyone -- including Elaine's Dan. ;^)
Hi Noel,
Good to 'see' you here. The 'idiot' bit seems to have been particulary popular. Heh.
Sometimes one has to have a laugh. 'Cos there's plenty going on to make one weep. Eh?
