Internment without trial is open to abuse and has been used in all the cases above to imprison suspects without evidence and intimidate certain communities within the general population. It causes resentment in these communities and help radicalise young people, essentially creating more combatants/terrorists/freedom fighters. It has never worked before, and it''l be counterproductive in the long run as it always has been.

Just an observation - I have no idea what the answer is. Not torture though.
