If it isn’t A-B it should be. I would doubt it though. Look at what's been said in the streets by these so called Militant Clerics and the events in Northern Ireland over the years. If sedition was still on the book I don’t think 50 people would have needlessly died for some a***holes ideals.

Hmmm so Treason is now no longer a capital offence. Well it should be.

From what we are told, the four concerned have saved the State a job, having blown themselves up along with their victims.

I agree with Lettie, though. I don't think prison is necessarily a soft option. The loss of freedom has to count for something - never to choose where you go or when, what you eat, when you go to bed, what you wear, and never to do all the things we all take for granted, must be horrible - ask anybody who has been to boarding school! But life should mean life. You can't bring someone back who has been murdered - why should the murderer get his or her life back?
