Unbelievable. There are times when I think the British government and its courts are almost INVITING another islamic terror attack. Was nothing learned from the London Bombings? Check this out from The Wall Street Journal:
People in America have been outraged by Obama and Holder's decision to hold a public trial for KSM...well, perhaps the next idea would be to allow KSM to SUE America for his detention in Guantanomo Bay, huh?
At times I don't know if the British courts are just simply scared of islamic reprisals to strict decisions against terror or if they truly don't understand the overwhelming threat of that terror on the people of the Land. Decisions like this basically send the signal to all security forces that they had better not even try to counter the terrorism. This is a bit like taking the ACLU and teaming them up with CAIR and then putting them in charge of the courts with a bunch of judges who are scared of their shadows. The message is clear - if you take up arms to protect your home and family, you face being thrown in a cell and the key thrown away but if you are an islamic terrorist plotting to kill innocent people you have a special set of rights that afford you unlimited protection and recourse.
Two terror suspects won the right Monday to seek compensation from the British government over the restrictions imposed upon their activities since 2006.
The High Court ruling delivers another blow to Britain's system of so-called "control orders," which officials say is necessary to keep tabs on terror suspects who can't be brought to trial without revealing sensitive intelligence information.
The system allows Britain's Home Office to ask a court to curtail suspects' movements, ban them from foreign travel, restrict their Internet access and forbid them from associating with certain people. At least 45 people have been subjected to such orders, according to the latest count. Twelve people, including nine Britons, remain under the regime.
A.E.'s lawyer Mohammed Ayub called the ruling was "a victory for common sense and decency." The government said it would appeal.

Terror Suspects Win Case Against U.K.
LONDON--Two terror suspects won the right Monday to seek compensation from the British government over the restrictions imposed upon their activities since 2006.
The High Court ruling delivers another blow to Britain's system of so-called "control orders," which officials say is necessary to keep tabs on terror suspects who can't be brought to trial without revealing sensitive intelligence information.
The system allows Britain's Home Office to ask a court to curtail suspects' movements, ban them from foreign travel, restrict their Internet access and forbid them from associating with certain people. At least 45 people have been subjected to such orders, according to the latest count. Twelve people, including nine Britons, remain under the regime.
The two suspects whose case was decided Monday can't be named for legally reasons. One of the two, a Libyan-British dual national identified only as A.F., was subjected to a control order because of alleged links with Islamic terrorists. He had to wear an electronic tag, stay in his house for 18 hours a day, and couldn't work without express permission from the government.
The other man, identified only as A.E., has been described in previous rulings as an imam to the Iraqi community in an unnamed town in northern England. Britain's security service said there was evidence he had taken part in terrorist activities.
Both had their control orders lifted in September after Britain's highest court ruled that the government could no longer withhold evidence from the pair. Britain's government said it lifted the restrictions rather than expose the sources of its intelligence.
Justice Stephen Silber said Monday that while the men were free to seek redress for their time spent under the control orders, he warned them that they wouldn't necessarily succeed in their quest for compensation, adding that it was unlikely to be very substantial in any case.
A.E.'s lawyer Mohammed Ayub called the ruling was "a victory for common sense and decency." The government said it would appeal.
