Could you not just ask him his views of the 60 day detention?
I'll certainly do that, but he's almost certain to tell me exactly what he told The Guardian (link above) and The Daily Telegraph, because if he told me any different, half his campaign team would walk out on the spot (I'm quite serious). That's why I'd like to have actual hard evidence of his apparent breathtaking about-turn. It's also why I find it very hard to believe - if he had said something like that in The London Paper it would have been huge news on the Lib Dem blogs I read.
Are you sure you weren't reacting to his qualified support for stop and search powers (same link as above)? This certainly caused a number of Liberals (including me) pause for thought, although it's worth noting that it is qualified support.
