Thirty 'High-Risk' Terrorists To Be Released Early
UP to 30 “high-risk” terrorists — including some of the most dangerous men in Britain — are due to be released from jail in the next year.
More are being freed in the wake of a ruling by Britain’s most senior judges that long sentences for terrorist crimes could “inflame” rather than deter extremism.
An analysis of appeal court cases shows that of the 26 terrorism cases it has heard, 25 have led to men with terrorism convictions having their sentences reduced.
Others are being released because they serve only part of their term. In response, Chris Grayling, the shadow home secretary, said the Tories were considering longer sentences for terrorists.
The leniency of the British appeal court to some convicted terrorists contrasts with America where they can be locked up for their whole lives.
One man designated “high risk” and due to be freed soon is Andrew Rowe, a Muslim convert who was found guilty of having notes on how to fire mortar bombs

Notes on how to fire mortar bombs are considered THAT nefarious? Sounds like something one could Google up in a few minutes.

If the terrorist suspects are "inflamed", tell 'em to use some of this:

“Notes on how to fire mortar bombs are considered THAT nefarious? Sounds like something one could Google up in a few minutes.”
I think it may be unsafe to assume that the journo who wrote that piece has any skills other than the base minimum, which is to be able to write to at least a sixth grade level.
Assuming that a journo has any competence what so ever in any subject, or is capable of actually transmitting facts as given him/her, could, possibly, be a solid definition of incompetence.

Saudi blackmail, limey poofters.
And this is why going "post-Christian" doesn't work.

This idiot judge should rank protection of the community, in this case the world community, much higher than worrying about making the poor terrorists upset. Good grief, can England overrule this clown or get rid of him?
