Sure. He was making poison, on a reasonable scale;

No he wasn't. It was announced that ricin had been found, but it was a cock up between Porton Down and the Number 10 spin machine - no ricin was found, he hadn't made any. He was cleared of conspiracy to murder (well, the jury couldn't agree). The clarification of the statement is still awaited, as is Colin Powell's apology to the UN.
me283 is, again, grossly ignorant of the facts of the case he's trying to make, which unfortunately isn't surprising if you just read the headlines and listen to the Government. You can see why they want to lock people up without trial or evidence if the trials are going to be this embarrassing and it's so obvious they're framing innocent people.

he was planning to make further, more lethal poison, on a larger scale.

With no resources or support and the police already onto him for shoplifting (he was fined £70 and released despite being a known illegal immigrant, and without the immigration service taking a look at him). Damned dangerous. Quite how much poison do you need and how was he going to obtain the ingredients? For that matter how was he going to store it? Or distribute it?

He planned to release cyanide on the underground.

Again incorrect - the only evidence for even wanting to make cyanide is a bizarre attempt to make it out of apple seeds - a moment's perusal of the internet will find far better ways of doing it, hell, I made some in school chemistry once. We really must learn the old Intelligence distinction between capabilities and intentions - I might have the intention to buy a remote Caribbean island and run a global evil organisation a la SMERSH from it, but I haven't got the faintest capability of doing it.

He murdered and wounded rather than give in to arrestation.

Apart from 'arrestation' not being a word, this is true. He's a brutal murderer, not a terrorist, as I said earlier in the thread. Talking of which:

Or would you have spared the likes of Hitler, Pot Pot, Amin, given the chance to pass sentence on them?

I think this is the first mention of Hitler in this thread. I thereby declare that the conditions for Godwin's Law have been met and that this discussion is over, and me283 has lost.
