#1 "Dutch struggling to balance fighting terror with human rights"

What's to struggle about? Human rights are for humans, not terrorists (or their wanna-be's).

Keep on like this, Nederland, and you'll lose that "struggle." Permanently.

#2 Well, nice try, cops. But your system is SO broken, that I rather doubt that any of this will work. Their heart is in the right place, but Dutch culture rejects the idea of prosecuting people unless they're standing above a corpse with a bloody knife.

#3 Whatever happened to the notion that one person's rights does not includes trampling on others'?

#4 Lol, amazing...

Barbara inspires me, lol...

Perhaps rephrasing the headline will clarify things for the Dutch...

"...balance inhuman rights with human rights"

"...balance fighting terror with facilitating terror"

Any help for ya, DikeBoyz?

#5 The problem appears not to be Dutch law but Dutch Judges application of the law. Remove those Judges and put those who understand the human right not to be blown up or killed by a terrorist comes before the rights of social missfits and that planning is just as important as the act. Plotting to carry out an act is criminal no matter how amaturish or bungling it is. These rulings just enbolden those who would desire to do terrorist acts.

It's broken fix it or die.

#7 In the 30's and 40's, when the east coast mafia decided LA looked pretty rip for domination, they sent their feelers out. See Mulholland Falls. Often times the mugs were taken out to dig their own graves before being snuffed...by the cops. There comes a point where law enforcement is so hindered by the protections joe citizen treasures that they are overwhelmed and unable to protect Joe and his family from his enemies (domestic and foreign). In a time of war - and we are - I treasure the safety of my family and friends more than I do the sensitivities of the Donks and Arlen Specter
