On the Government's proposed new Anti-Terrorist laws

Have you ever wondered what the Blairs argue about over breakfast? Based
on their public statements, Panorama constructs the sort of debate that
might take place on civil liberties and anti-terror legislation.

The programme examines the Government's plans for new laws to counter
the terrorist threat, following the London bombings and asks whether we
need new legislation; questions how it will make us safer, and assesses
the cost in terms of civil liberties.

The Blairs themselves know how difficult it is to strike a balance. This
is Tony Blair, on 5 August 2005: "Let no-one be in any doubt, the rules
of the game are changing." And this is Cherie Blair, speaking as a Human
Rights lawyer, on 26 July 2005: "It is all too easy for us to respond to
such terror in a way which undermines commitment to our most deeply held
values and convictions and which cheapens our right to call ourselves a
civilised nation."

Panorama examines the subject which on paper has the Blairs at odds. The
programme talks to politicians, top lawyers and judges, and to
individuals and groups who might be directly affected by the
Government's new laws.

Those interviewed in the programme include: Moazzam Begg, who was
detained without charge by the US in Guantanamo Bay, and imprisoned for
3 years; Lord Hurd, the former Conservative Home Secretary; and Lord
Lloyd, a former law lord.
