The passionate debate over how long terrorism suspects can be held without charge has resurfaced at the top of the political agenda in Britain, with the government indicating that it will seek to extend the current 28-day limit. Ministers, the police and security services say more time is essential if they are to bring some suspects planning atrocities to justice. They argue that the rights of ordinary citizens to living in safety should be paramount. But critics, including politicians, civil rights groups and Muslim organisations, say the powers are draconian, unnecessary and an infringement of ancient liberties that guarantee people should not be held by the authorities without being charged with a crime.

- Posted by TomSimply put let the terrorists practice their art freely in their own country !!
After given the protection and the safety of their adopted country, homegrown terrorists and migrated terrorists should be executed for treason. This would have been done to them in the country they came from.
Even dogs are loyal to their masters !!
