He didn't imply that. To my mind he merely forgot to mention the caveat of 'should they be found guilty'... I certainly think that whoever is responsible should be held acocuntable.

Can we please stop the prodied slurs, given that no-one has used such slurs seriously even thought I suspect many here wish others to use such slurs, if only to fit in with their limited world view of those who disagree with them.
wordy said:Sub human scum, pure and simple
It's just not that simple though. I would agree with you if the plot was to put bombs on planes and watch them blow up. But I'm pretty sure the intention of the plot would be for them to die in the planes too.
Just because your scum doesn't mean mean your willing to take your own life. They were called cowards earlier in this thread but again I don't agree. What on earth would drive you to take yours and others lives in this way?
It's belief, they actually believe in what they are doing, this is the most shocking thing for me.

Not even that. You could be convicted of treason and sentenced to death, but the defendant would have every right to appeal to the European Courts where such a punishment would be deemd illegal.
The 1998 HRA simply cut out the middle man and stopped UK courts passing sentences that sould, in all cases, be overturned.
Latest on SKY
There is chaos at British airports after police disrupted a plot to cause "mass murder on an unimaginable scale" by blowing up planes over UK and US cities.
The explosives would have been smuggled aboard six airliners as hand luggage - and could have been missed during x-ray screening.
Speaking at Scotland Yard, Deputy Commissioner Paul Stephenson said he was confident the police had disrupted a plot "to cause mass murder on an unimaginable scale".
He said 21 people arrested in London, Birmingham and the Thames Valley were still being held - the culmination of a covert counter-terrorist operation lasting several months.
Queues at Heathrow Big queues were building up at UK airports as passengers trying to board international flights were not being allowed to carry on normal hand luggage.
Security sources believe that liquid explosives would have been used which could have been mixed during the flight into a lethal concoction.
Sky News' Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt said he had been told the threat was imminent and those arrested were mainly young, British-born Asian men.
The Home Secretary John Reid said the official level of security - indicating public risk - had been raised from 'severe' to 'critical'.
The US government has also raised its threat assessment to the highest level for commercial flights from Britain to America.
Flights have been cancelled Whitehall sources said the Prime Minister and President Bush had been in contact over the plot for some time.
There have been lengthy queues at most British airports with many flights hit.
British Airways cancelled all its short-haul UK and European inbound and outbound flights to and from Heathrow until 3pm.
Flights scheduled into Heathrow were cancelled - apart from those already in the air.
The British Airports Authority urged passengers not to go to Heathrow unless absolutely necessary.
Flights to Britain with Lufthansa, Iberia, Olympic, KLM and Air France were cancelled until later in the day.
:: Security experts said such an attack would have a precedent - during the 1990s, a plot was foiled to blow up 12 Western airliners simultaneously in Asia.

JohnnyG said:Not for treason & piracy
Yes, even for treason and piracy. As i stated in my response to AJUK, courts were free to pass the death sentence, but would be powerless to stop that sentence being overturned upon appeal to the european courts, whose right to overrule UK courts was established by the aforementioned treaties signed by Heath and Major.

Is that because you're a faggot?
Of course, I am only asking a question but as you can see, even questions can have a social effect... an inference...
