Otherwise i would agree, but with the proviso that the borders are closed AND we have the other measures, nearly all the terrorists nvolved in 7/7 21/7 etc have been home grown.

If anything, measures such as ID Cards and detention without charge are going to drive people further into the arms of terrorism.

Don't take my word for it, just look at internment in Northern Ireland and what it did for the IRA.

Following internment a serving officer of the British Marines declared, "It (internment) has, in fact, increased terrorist activity, perhaps boosted IRA recruitment, polarised further the Catholic and Protestant communities and reduced the ranks of the much needed Catholic moderates."

It's very similar. It will also likely have the same effect.

Guantanamo is internment. This is investigation.

You are completely ignorant of this subject yet you persist. You are both too ignorant and too stupid to admit you are wrong.

It is much the same.
