is that what your proposed punishment to proven/convicted terrorists under custody? simply release and then ban them?
The UK has laws that allow them to ban people from entering the country if they had a probable expectation that they would endanger public safety in any way. There is still no evidence that this radical preacher Hasan met in Virginia has any REAL ties to Al-Qaida. If all it takes to be an Al-Qaida guy is to engage in radical Islamist propaganda then I guess the list of Al-Qaida membership will be growing by the millions overnight. Radical preacher, yes, Al-Qaida operative, so far, no evidence whatsoever. In fact, this radical preacher was apparently let go by Yemeni and American authorities, he is on their radar and is being monitored for his radical views, nothing more. So yeah, trying to link the actions of this one man to Al-Qaida or 9/11 is pretty stupid, when we have hard evidence to prove it then we can go from there.
