What To Do With the Suicide Bombers I was reading the Best of the Web this morning about the coverage given to the events in Jenin, Israel by the British papers compared to the American papers compared to Israeli accounts. The discussion carries the following quote from the New York Times: "Israeli forces in Jenin had caught 10 would-be suicide bombers who had already videotaped their farewell statements." This got me to thinking... What do you do when you capture a suicide bomber before the act? It seems excessive to lock someone away forever for something that they planned to do but never did. On the other hand, if you let them out, you know that they are an enemy of the state and a clear danger to your people. If you can demonstrate that they helped in the execution of other suicide bombings, then I think it's easy to keep 'em locked up forever as part of that event with their own plans serving as additional evidence. But I am not sure that the suicide bombers are all so helpful and involved with one another. Perhaps this is where a Clockwork Orange styled reeducation plan would serve Israel well. Or maybe the best answer is to take no prisoners. I don't know, but it would seem to present an interesting dillema. |
