Newsflash. Our government are a bunch of bastards as well.
UK criticised over human rights
Europe's human rights watchdog has criticised the way in which the UK treats terror suspects.
The Council of Europe's Commissioner for Human Rights, Alvaro Gil-Robles, says control orders violate basic rights - a claim ministers deny.
The measure effectively places a person under house arrest if the home secretary believes it is necessary.
But Mr Gil-Robles says proceedings are "inherently one-sided" and says only judges should authorise the orders.
His wide-ranging report also expressed concern about anti-social behaviour orders (ASBOs), the asylum system and overcrowding in prisons.
