That interview was a shambles. It's true that in order to protect rights in general you have to defend shady people - however when asked if you agree with FGM/stoning for adultery/homosexuality is evil/etc. your answer should be a point blank, "No". He had valid points at the beginning of the interview but when pressed he doesn't make himself look very good.
>> Remember that even if CAGE organizers are sympathetic to the goals of those they defend, once they've defended them, they're still defending civil rights.
While this is a valid point in general, it is not in this context of showing schedule 7 to be overreaching. If the man in the article works for the CAGE and they actually are known as sympathetic to the goals of terrorists it makes perfect sense to detain him after he returns from a 'work' trip as there are likely valid, evidence based suspicions for it.
