I think we should hand over Al Qaeda terrorists to the Saudi Arabian authorities, so they can find out the hard way whether or not they have broken Sharia law. The ammendment to the European Convention on Human Rights allows to restoration of the death panalty at times of war, therefore we can legislate to allow the extradition of terrorists to the Saudi's.

Stop tallking about a war on terror"</i> Since we have to implement nasty measures aimed at terrorists and their supporters, it is not a bad idea to call it a "war". They are not just criminals (i.e. something the police should deal with), they are international terrorists. I don't think it matters what we call it: to Islamists, this is a holy war and that justifies their evil actions. I like your 2. - 5. Will Cameron endorse these points? And will the EU allow us do them? “1. Stop tallking about a war on terror”
