scorecard (updated again)

On the basis of the last few months of media coverage, here's a quick and dirty list of those who do not support or actively oppose an extension to the detention limit for terror suspects:

- The Times
- The Telegraph
- The Guardian
- The Independent
- The Daily Mail
- senior members of the Association of Chief Police Officers
- MI5
- the director of public prosecutions, Sir Ken Macdonald
- the former Lord Chancellor, Lord Falconer
- the current Attorney General, Baroness Scotland of Asthal
- the past Attorney General, Lord Goldsmith
- the Solicitor General, Vera Baird
- the Director of Public Prosecutions, Sir Ken Macdonald QC
- the overwhelming majority of groups responding in the public consultation exercise
- the current Security Minister, Lord West (though only until someone quietly reminded him otherwise)
- Andrew Dismore, the chairman of the parliamentary joint human rights committee
- David Davis, the shadow home secretary
- Nick Clegg, the leader of the Liberal Democrats

And those supporting an extension:

- The Sun
- Melanie Phillips
- Lord Stevens, former head of Scotland Yard
- Sir Ian Blair, commissioner of the Metropolitan police
- Ken Jones, the president of the Association of Chief Police Officers (apparently in disagreement with some of his colleagues, see above)

Hmm.
