I think Western society is learning a lesson, in that human rights should not be extended to all, especially not to those who wish to destroy our society, by killing thousand of people.

Groups like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch - that no double have done a lot of good - should be allowed, only so far in the process of dealing with terrorists and terror suspects. Alternatively, in these cases, we should decide to act as humanely as possible.

Which should include, the deportation to countries with laws not like our own (because that is where they came from). And we should, lock them up in real prisons, not one where they can speak in Arabic and elude the guard, in the wife’s burqua.

I think Western society is coming to accept a new definition of human rights and that is the right of normal or wider society to live, relative safety.

I absolutely agree with M Thomas from Cardiff. The sheer ineptitude of our "laughable justice system" is itself I suspect failing in it's duty of care to the public...Let's hope that one of the absconders doesn't do a little suicide bombing as then HMG would be legally liable I suspect.

They put a tracking devise on the leg ( Judges have obviously never used a junior hacksaw) and they take away there passports (What a joke when it was discovered that some of the previous absconders had used the passports of another family member).

I have to pose the question, are the people being released 'on purpose'

Frankly M Thomas, I think you've got this the wrong way around. Control orders were introduced to overcome the incompatibility of the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 with the Human Rights Act 1998. The decision was based on racial discrimination.
Control orders are used when there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that the individual is or has been involved in terrorism-related activity. These orders can be imposed without the indiviual having knowledge of the basis of that suspicion. There is now a desire to allow the extension of detaining without charge to 90 days from 28.
Surely, if there is enough evidence to impose these orders, then then is sufficient to charge them? Well, it appears that the security services do not want this evidence admitted, athough such evidence is used in other democracies and the US.
If the government allowed this evidence, charged and convicted terrorists, the control order and subsequent absconding would effectively end as well.
