How to Punish Terrorists 2

[Mentor]

1) yes Killing a killer is sinking to their level, but rather sink to their level and possibly save 50 innocent lives than leave it and take the risk of losing 50 people.

How does that work? If we know there terrorists, they get prosecuted for the crimes like everyone else, they serve a long jail sentence, and are released only when its deemed they are safe to reenter society. There not going to be blowing people up from a jail cell you know.

At the point where talking about there just a defenseless human being, who has no control over there fate. Your say we should kill them in cold blood. I say we should prosecute them, and if they are guilty of conspiracy to murder, they go to jail for it and are detained until they are no longer a threat.

2) I closed because i was being insulted, not because my opinion was being put under pressure

That was never one of the points i rased, and hence leads me to belive the insults were just an excuse to avoid the real criticisms. point 3 wasnt even a point.

edit:

4) im not sure which is more expensive, killing them the way the do at the moment or putting them in prison, but im sure that hanging them, like saddams death, which would be a dignified death in private would cost less

In the uk we dont kill people at all at the moment, we have made a little progress since the middle ages. What your arguing for sounds alot like what they had in nazi Germany, after all, they had the "terrorist's" *cough* to... otherwize known as the jewish/communist community.

or is it just power play, as Kymux said "the government likes terrorism, it keeps people scared, and scared people do what theyre told".

thats how i see it, but i do believe they should just be locked up, not in prison, sincei do not think a thing like this can be cured with punishment, like other people in prison (serial rapists, murderers and general psychopaths). they should be in a mental assylum, i see it that they have something wrong in their mind which makes them do that.

being in jail is just going to anger them or make they mental state worse, if they are ever gonna be "cured" it has to be delt with right.

lol thats just my veiw

[T0M]

if they wer ein prison with no phone calls then fair enough you have a good point, but if they get phone calls to people outside they could organise terrorist attacks and give details/orders to other terrorists

[Kymux]

lol no they wouldnt, i bet prison officers listen in on all phone conversations theyre having, if they didnt itd be absurd, and anyway what difference does the odd phone call make? its still gonna make them worse

(off topic: im listnin to "Welcome Home (Sanitarium) - Metallica"... very fitting for my points)

True, i take the slightly idealist view that prison does do the job its supposed to, aka reabiltate inmates for re-interrogation in to regular society, which does include the pycological aspects to.

People detained in prison's rights depend sole on the risks associated with them having it. They if dont let computer hackers have telephone calls, there not going to give them to convicted terrorists if theres deemed to be a high risk. But like any criminal, i see no reason they shouldnt be allowed contact with the familys etc.

agreed

i think that most inmates would be "cured" with inprisonment, however with criminals with extremely warped minds, i see that theres no other way to cure them other than proper psychiatric help

[DCeption]

Put them all in one small country and bomb the *******s.

[GommeInc]

And do exactly what they do? Wow, the wisdom coming from you :rolleyes:

The only logical way to do it is trial them, and lock them up when guilty.

[Browney]

Bring back the stocks. Oh and jail them.

[Colin-Roberts]

But if we put them all in prison, we pay for them to be there, food clothing bedding etc

News Flash it's cheaper then proper killing like the electric chair.
oops mentor already posted that.

and theres nothign dignified by beening hung?
i'd make a long post like mentor but he shares my views so i'll let him

edit: again all phonecalls that are made are closely monitored so they couldn't organize anything.
