Yes, because its worked so well before.
It may sound nice but freedom, democracy and the moral highground are not good tools against terrorism. They will commit their acts and kill and many people as possible to strike fear into the country and hopefully undermine the freedom and the rule of law.
I am not in support of house arrest or against it. I do not have the information that the goverment holds on these people but i am certain that they think they are a danger. So i cannot comment. But i do think that
actual action whould be taken instead of talking about human rights (which is important) and preaching about freedom and liberty. Do you think the terrorists will see us talking about human rights and freedom and then think they need to change their ways.
SO the question is, if house arrest cannot be used. What can?
