If we are truly concerned with defending ourselves, perhaps we should emulate the oldest, most versatile and highly complex defensive network known, the human immune system....Innate immunity uses phagocytes ("cell devourers") and "natural killer" cells to eliminate molecules that the complement system "identifies" as threats....The molecules of the immune system are hardly in battle. Their component atoms simply combine and recombine. So we should reuse the molecules of terrorists by...eating them?
I hate it when people pull up short on their own analogies.

So we should reuse the molecules of terrorists by...eating them? In three easy steps:
1. Kill terrorists.
2. Feed terrorist corpse to pig.
3. Eat pig.

So we should reuse the molecules of terrorists by...eating them? How about something less controversial? Let's dice them into smithereens, use the smithereens to fertilize agricultural land, grow corn on that land, harvest the corn in due time and feed it to cattle, then butcher the cattle in due time and eat the beef.
