Should Abu Qatada Be Released on Bail?

National security and a European court are butting heads this week over the possible release of Abu Qatada, a radical Islamist militant affiliated with al-Qaeda. He has been in and out of prison since 2000, when Jordan sentenced him to life for his involvement in planned tourist bombings, and for his influence on the September 11 hijackers. This week Mr Justice Mitting, Chairman of the Special Immigration Appeals Commission, ruled that he will have to be released on bail in three months if the Home Secretary is still unable to deport him back to Jordan for his sentence.

Obviously, not everyone is happy with the ruling. The Home Office said in a statement, "Qatada should remain in detention, our view has not changed. This is a dangerous man who we believe poses a real threat to our security and who has not changed in his views or attitude to the UK. We have argued for the strictest possible bail conditions to be imposed on Qatada, because this Government will take all necessary measures to protect national security. This is not the end of the road and we are continuing to consider our legal options in response to the European Court's ruling." Do you think Abu Qatada should be released on bail?

    NO let's give him a job in the Obama administration.

    They love anti-American scum bags.

    If you agree with this, you are a racist.

    Absolutely not! Why do we allow these people to play the system? What do they contribute to society or the world as a whole? They shud be exterminated, some people are beyond the pale and don't deserve to be treated humanely. Why don't the European courts stick their noses out of our business!

    I love it when courts sentence people to live in jail and release them in less than a year or tow. Guess to the law a year is a life time.

    We have a lot of "Abu Qatada"s in Saudi Arabia supported by the government which is supported by the US government (don't be shocked it's true) and if you pissed from one Abu Qatada we suffer from millions of Abu Qatadas everyday.
    All these new nazis should be eliminated.

    If he has been found guilty of or has been accused of terrorism he should not be released from jail/prison. These terrorists should not be able to game the system--out to create more problems. Plug the loopholes.

    I think releasing him is stupid. But, then again, once he's out and about, he might plausibly have a fatal accident.
  • Liv prosper... 2012/02/14 04:47:50
    Liv
    hmmmm not likely. he would be taking all precautions. id bet he would use his connections to make sure that wouldnt happen.
  • prosper... Liv 2012/02/14 23:04:27
    prosperhappily
    Oh, I'm sure he's taken precautions. But, precautions can be overcome. It make take some time and trouble. But, we can get him if we want him bad enough.
  • Liv prosper... 2012/02/20 23:29:28
    Liv
    and he can hide if he wants to badly enough. these are international terrorist we are dealing with. we dont *know* his connections. we *do* know that he is capable of huge damage
  • prosper... Liv 2012/02/28 03:47:08

    Let's hope he meets with an accident rather than hiding successfully. Out of our hands now, I guess.
