If they are terrorists, put them in front of a jury and convict them. Then throw them in prison and chuck the key. I'm all for that.

As simple as that? Put them infront of a jury and this enforces the minds of the public. What are we really talking about here. Enforcing laws with kid gloves to make us feel better about our selves. An eye for eye. Do you think for a moment they would show you that luxury? You would be live on some broken down tv station with a bag over your head Waiting execution whilst your loved ones are at home.

Oh yes, But we have our principles, our beliefs. This is the point I'm trying to make. Until it happens to one of your loved ones you have that luxury in standing by your principles. I wonder if the families of the victims think this way of the terrorist attacks.

Either way, Release or detained they live in luxury, probably better living conditions than most americans. That has to be a kick in the teeth in itself.
