#1 Deportation is great against the furriners, but what are you going to do with the home-grown jihadi pigs?

#2 Surely there is some uninhabited island somewhere that can be used as a holding pen during contested deportations.

#3 Londonstan is a stupid term because 'stan is used for nations not cities.

I suggest Londobad and the United Caliphate of Great Britianistan and North Ireland.

#5 Keep it up, judiciary & lawyers on both sides of the pond.

When a government won't protect it's law abiding citizens, they will protect themselves.

#7 Deporting terrorists to Dominica only exports terror cells and gives them new staging ground and smuggling routes. Dominica is not an unihabited island in the middle of no where; it is uncomfortably close in the Caribbean. The President wants to return to the moon, which would make a great desolate internment camp, IMHO.

#9 The issue was that of the 1951 UN Convention on Refugees, which says in Article 32: "The Contracting States shall not expel a refugee lawfully in their territory save on grounds of national security or public order."

Mr al-Massari was eventually allowed to stay in Britain and is now protected even more because of the European Convention on Human Rights, incorporated into British law by the Human Rights Act of 1998.

No entangling treaties! (hat tip to Thomas Jefferson)

Hey MS, tell me again why the UN, ICC and Kyoto are good for America?

#11 "Ms. Danielle - Mars would be better..."

Not true, Mars might conceivably support life....

#12 We left our flag all over the moon.

IT'S US TERRITORY.

No treaty problem of any sort for the US (not UK) to send folks there. Don't see any requirement for an internal prison to have oxygen either.

#13 I could be wrong but I think the US signed a treaty stating that nobody could claim the moon or other space objects.

#14 Screw it, just hire some "out of work" Bulgarians who used to deport people from the quick to the dead and be done with it. I don't believe that in the UK the government faces the "restraints" we do here, they just act as if they do.

#15 rjschwarz
No problem. If we did we can just withdraw from it when we need to. Nobody else is really close to getting there.

#16 Yes, we Brits will defend ourselves. We'll swat the jihadis away with our rolled-up copies of the Radio Times.

#17 We don't need to OWN the moon to deport them TO the moon, rjschwarz! But it would be cheaper to just drop them off somewhere between London and Bermuda.

#18 Any of the Lagrange points, L1-L5, would suit. No jurisdictional problems there, I'm sure.

#19 No way .com! - *I* want to go to L-5 before some stinkin' Jihadi. SPoD's got the right idea.

I have 'The High Frontier' by Gerard K O'Neill not 3 feet from my head - I thought the future might be like that, but we're not there just yet...
