| 1,600 Suspects Under Surveillance |
| 2007-07-01 |
| MORE than 1,600 terrorist suspects are currently under surveillance by MI5, who believe there are 200 networks and 30 plots. A source said: "Some of these we are able to foil, some fall apart but there are always new ones springing up. We face a constant battle but our intelligence on these networks continues to grow and we are achieving better levels of penetration all the time." MI5 now has 3,000 officers based around the UK and plans another 500 by next year. |

| #1 Is the wrong answer. Imprison all 1600 without trial and then concentrate intelligence resources on finding the next 1600, and then the next. Otherwise we'll have more episodes like 7/7 where the bombers managed to carry out their plans despite the fact that they'd already been under surveillance. |
