If it comes true, O'Donnell's prediction will be good news for Democrats,

to 291 -- a 31-vote majority for those against the proposal (with about 50 MPs
absent).
The Conservative Party, who if in power would probably insist on
an even harsher elimination of the freedom and rights of terrorist
suspects, voted en masse against the government
amendment. Their leader, Michael Howard ... more »
