I'm afraid you are wrong about British justice Peter.

Three friends of the 7/7 London bombers have recentely been on trail.
They were found innocent of any complicity in the bombings, but were given 7 years in jail for "planning" to attend training camps in Pakistan to fight against the US presence in Iraq.....essentially a "thought crime"
The "reasonable" judge ruled that they would have attended these camps if it was not for their "apprehension"...(they were too scared)

British justice at its best here
