I will probably be shot down in flames for saying this...but do you think that we, the tax payer should fund their lives in prison for the next 40 years....bearing in mind, that we will also probably be picking up the social welfare costs for the families of these would-be murderers.
OK......I know their families haven't done anything wrong (allegedly) but shouldn't they have considered this before they hooked up to Al Qaeda?
Would it not be better to revoke the passports and visas of these people and ship them back to their country of origin and let them take their chances in the jails there?

Sorry ... don't agree. Don't become like them; if you do then, in a sense, they have won. They have put themselves beyond humanity; I think that it is a mistake to join them. One of the more frustrating things about living in a democracy, under the rule of law, is that one has, fom time to time, to swallow the urge for vengence.
