How is it that the security sources can describe G as “a key player” and not prove it?
Surely it should read he is “suspected of being a key player”?
How comfortable are people with the concept of imprisoning others for what they are suspected of doing?

AndyN, Reading,

I despair. If we cannot take the gloves off and sort this problem out then I suggest we give them a free holiday to France, Germany or Spain and tip the the authorities off beforehand.

Graham, Ewell Village, Surrey

You give them a haven; educate them and. in a lot of cases, give them money so that they don't have to work. Then they spit on your humanity, train others likewise, and try to kill you.

Are we daft or what?

Er excuse me, one of the rights that we uphold as making us 'better' than Islamic fundamentalists is the right to a fair trial. If he's THAT guilty, put him in the dock. If he's found guilty, deport him or lock him up.

There's no shortage of legislation for him to have infringed.

Bill Peter, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Shouldn't we all be thankful for the US of A? And shouldn't we all despise public school and Oxbridge educated lawyers?

Eddie Reader, birmingham, england

I understand Paul from Bristol's stance and the independence of the judiciary in this country is vital to our democratic values. However it seems that this man was internationally accepted as a terrorist and some unity against terrorism and radical factions of religion is needed in this country

Rob, Madrid,

If he is that dangerous, they should find the evidence and charge him.

Greg Berman, London, England

Why do people only see one side of the problem? We won't solve this until we see both! The judge HAS to uphold the law. The law rightly protects the rights of the individual against the State. The Government bypassed the law, needs reining in. But we also need this guy put away. Resolution?

AndyG, London, UK

I'm not a pom, but an Australian , so my opinion on how you run your country is immaterial.
However it sounds to me as if you are a country in crisis, with a parliament whcih passes laws with no force and a judiciary which interprets those laws to the detriment of the majority of the population.

Jack Hackett, Brisbane, Australia

Paul ,Bristol. Whether through arrogance or ignorance you are missing the point. Do you really believe that the judges, who delight in the power to thwart an elected governments wishes, would wield their power in the same way if an extreme, left or right, government took control of this country?

Terry, Radstock, England

What a wonderful country we live in today...............NOT !!

Mike Jones, Farnborough, Hampshire

Contempt of Court is a criminal offence, is there not a similar offence for Contempt of Parliament.

Is there any other country in the world where the national justice system is held in contempt by its own people.

Jim, Bicknoller,

I am not sure how the legal representitives of these individuals sleep at night, how can they justify working on behalf of people who are involved in such things? They should be disgraced with themselves and for me they are no better than those in the dock!
When will we allow phone taps as evidence?

Adam, Oxford, UK

without the work carried out by the security services we would be in a much worse situation than we are now; look at how many suspects are in court or have been jailed. It may not be " british" but is surely necessary, even if without the full story,we cannot judge the work of the security experts.

jp, york, north yorkshire

i hope his released funds are now used to pay his legal bill .
some how i don,t think so.

d campbell, newcastl,

Many of these comments seem to be missing the point, which is that the government acting illegally by bypassing Parliament. Without these judges, we would already have 90 days' detention without trial. Then it would be 180. Then no more elections. Our own Mugabe, and all in the national interest.

Paul, Bristol,

Clearly the honorable judge ought to be placed immediately in an institution for the criminally insane.

MJ Hoeber, Miami, USA

If these people have such large amounts of cash in their bank accounts why are they receiving benefits?

clarebear, worcester, worcestershire

Presumably there is evidence to substantiate the claims above, if so why isn't he being locked up with the key thrown away?

Farrukh, Woking, UK

I would laugh but I'm too busy crying.

Roger, Surrey,

Well done the newspapers for printing this, at least someone is concerned.

John Green, worthing,

If the security services have evidence that this man is a terrorist, they should present it in court and convict him. If they don't have the evidence - or choose not to present it - they should shut up. They have been caught out in disinformation exercises too many times to be taken at face value.

John, London,

It is all anti Islamic propeganda.If Al qaida is so power full to cut the nose of USA proudness can not arrange to fund the agents if it wants.If they are Alqaida rep they must be having bank bal of millions,they can keep funds which will be untraceable for sure

wazdan, hirat, Afghanistan

Why don't the security people shoot this terrorist off hand or as soon as they catch him pursuing his deadly game? As for the judge are we sure he is not "one of them?"

Bill Smith, Australia, Brisbane

I can't believe this is happening in Britain.
Why are known terrorists allowed to live in
the UK? I was born in a British colony,I have 3 grandparents
born in Britain. My parents were born in South Africa.But because I am now an older person, I am denied that right.

LT - the short answer is 'No' - you should not trust their judgement. There are so many cases where their judgement was wrong - Matrix Churchill, Birmingham Six etc etc. They must prove their case or have it thrown out. It's a nonsence that the accused cannot be told of the evidence against them.

David Akehurst, Brighton,

With experience in legislating for Prevention of Terrorism gained from the N.I problem,it should not be too difficult to draft law that provides for the sworn evidence of senior MI5 alleging involvement, coupled with the onus moved to the accused to justify their activities/funds, to achieve justice

phil glover, Grantown on Spey, Scotland

I know there are some High Court judges who have to be told what year it is, let alone the date, day and time of day!! I did once hear of a judge who had to ask a clerk in court ''who are the Beatles''. It just makes one think, that is all I will say.

Pass the Port please!!

R. P. Dixon., London,

Seeing the amount of evidence gathered, at considerable costs by various Government Agencies, cannot the Judge(s) trust their judgement? To me it seems the Judiciary is only hellbent on proving the Police wrong at the expense of justice If the arrests are wrong - you know they'll be sued to the hilt

LT, Warminster, UK

It just shows exactly who runs this country. We have an individual who is accepted by every security force as being involved in Terrorist activites. But what about his human rights to encourage others to kill themselves blowing up UK soldiers?
Thank god we have lawyers protecting the people.

Dave, Reading, UK

A world class Judicial system to be proud of. It jails pensioners who cant pay their council tax and free's those who might a terroirst risk, even if only suspected of such activity by MI5 and Interpol. How safe our Judges make us feel, let them explain it to the mothers of our dead soldiers!
