I agree with you Richard. That's why I wrote '...warped minds of two strange young men...' It has been suggested that one of the them had undergone torture and perhaps abuse of a sexual nature while under interrogation in Kenya, and that this abuse had engendered the subsequent acts in Woolwich. One could be cynical and deduce he's preparing the way for his defence in court, (post-traumatic stress disorder, torture-induced psychosis etc) but on the other hand, perhaps he truly was rendered vulnerable by his experiences. I have faith that the British Justice System will thoroughly and fairly assess his state of mind and deal with him accordingly. They must after all let Justice be seen to have been done.
