Charles Clarke, will tonight claim there is a "pernicious and even dangerous poison" infecting press coverage on the government's civil liberties record.

In a speech at the London School of Economics, Mr Clarke will accuse some parts of the press of making incorrect and over-simplified statements about his government's record.
Not unlike his government's policy of legislating incorrect and over-simplified solutions for our society's problems then?


Also in the same article:
"I would impose restrictions on those suspected of being involved in organised crime. In fact I would generally harry, hassle and hound them until they give up or leave the country." -- Tony Blair (my emphasis)


Edit:

A version of Clarke's lecture is published now:

It's amusing to see the Guardian's readers gleefully dissecting it. The first comment alone is wonderful, and there are several others worth reading too.
