Britain's recurring question: treat terror as war or crime?
Original: In Britain, the Terror Question Remains the Same: War or Crime?
Debate continues in Britain over whether terrorist acts should be handled as matters of war or as criminal justice issues. The question resurfaces whenever attacks occur, dividing opinion between those favouring security-focused, military-style responses and those insisting suspects be processed through the courts. Commentators argue the answer shapes policing, prosecution and civil liberties, and Britain still has not settled it.
Why now: Renewed debate over how Britain should legally and strategically respond to terrorism.
