...took arms up against your country, and her allies and now you want to come back home, and have everything back to the way it used to be. What do you think, let the prodigal sons come back, or drag them in front of a military tribunal, and have the tried as traitors?

I think it kinda depends on two things

1) the legal British definition of treason and other like offenses

and

2) the importance of anything they might know and are willing to tell about the jihadis

As well as British public opinion and the returnees' propaganda value, if any

Just say NO, or they will regret it.

Or let them stew in the anger, and let them come back in as more dangerous terrorists? Really a no-win situation.

The real solution is figuring out the factors that led them to become Jihadists against their own country and solve the problem there...

Doesn't have the fun and folly of retribution-- but is probably more effective.

What British laws did they break that would subject them to legal action in Britain?

I guess we should be shocked that several posters just "shrug" and say "why not?"
Sadly -- the fact is that we have learned not to be 'shocked' by these feelings by some people.

It's very hard to believe that some would think "why not?", and say "what Laws have they broken?"
This is the Leftist view point in today's world. Head Chopping is hunky dory.

It's like an old movie title - Live and Let Die.

Leftists need something to get their moral outrage sparked.

Ferguson and all the racism white cops perpetrate against African Americans sparked a little but there needs to be more.

What can do that just as much as racism you ask?

Good old fashioned vigilantly justice!

I know it's hard for RWNJ to form coherent thoughts but how about wiping the froth off your chin and staying on topic.
