Exchanging convicted terrorists for hostages


Recommended Posts

In this case they should do it. The woman in Jordanian custody tried to kill local men, women and children at a wedding party in Amman - a definition right there of a worthless low-life. Suicide bombers are two-a-penny - she doesn't add anything to the ISIS arsenal, and just makes them look even worse. If she were a bomb-maker it might be a different story.

Undecided. I'm all for saving an innocent life if possible and if it was just down to this one case then absolutely. My fear is that ISIS will become more active in their kidnappings if they know they can use the hostages as currency.

Only exchange if they do one of the following:

 

surgically place a tracking device in the terrorist which cannot be detected and can only be tracked by our intelligence agencies,

surgically place a poison which kills the terrorist a few weeks later were the victim only shows signs and symptoms of dying from natural causes.

You and me are of a similar mindset. I was thinking along very similar lines. I'm all for option two.

Fascist scum :D

I like your thinking but I fear most people would notice if you performed surgery on them. I was certainly aware that I'd had my tonsils removed so I think I'd probably notice someone sticking a satnav in my rib cage.

 

I think it would be more feasible to kill the terrorist and get a pretty decent taxidermist to stuff and mount them. Hopefully the swap goes through quickly before ISIS notice she isn't very chatty.

Also, on a point of logic, how the fúck do they have a suicide bomber in custody?

 

She built a 'No more nails' bomb and glued herself to the wall of a shopping centre.

Is she dead? That tends to be a requirement for suicide.

'cos she decided at the last minute she wasn't a lesbian or didn't want to be one of the 30 virgins so chucked the rucksack and ran...

And to answer the original question, No I wouldn't not a chance. Do it for one and you have to do it for everyone.

 

People go into the army knowing what the have signed up for!!

I don't get what ISIS are trying to do. If they really want an Islamic state I'm not sure how making the whole World their enemy is going to help.

 

Really?

 

Their motivations seem transparent enough I would have thought - IE provoke their outraged enemies into more military action against them and the new recruits to swell their ranks, and the additional funds to fill their coffers will surely follow.

 

As plans go it's a barbarically cruel, yet depressingly effective one.

I suppose. I'm not sure how having the Jordan vowing punishment and revenge is a great recruitment ad though.

Their trying to provoke a reaction.

 

Islamic (effective hijack of the word 'Islamic') State are a death cult, hellbent on creating a lawless utopia of medievil-era deprivation where they control everything through an absurd interpretation of the Koran. For instance they will insist that all women wear the burqa whilst believing they maintain the right to brutally rape whichever one of their 8 wives they fancy at any given moment. Even Al-Qaeda have condemned and disassociated themselves from IS because they consider them too extreme.

 

They openly flaunt their barbarity and brutality to create chaos, an environment on which groups like them thrive. Once they've provoked the reaction they'll use it to recruit countless more psychopaths and brainwashable/vulnerable individuals to join the fight against "the West's war on Islam".

 

It's worked ever since they established themselves during the Iraq War.

Playing into the hands of the terrorists, giving them the publicity they want. Much of the news coverage of everything to do with ISIS is excessive and gives them the stage they are after.

Has this turned the Jordanian people against ISIS now? There was a bit of support for ISIS there before but surely to burn their pilot alive would turn the opinions against them
