It's not just a case of whether you or I would be affected by "relaxing" human rights principles. If we jail or worse, shoot, someone who turns out not to have been involved we have lost as a society. And we have presented the murderers with a propaganda tool into the bargain.
They break the rules, murder innocents and ignore basic human decency, we must not.
It didn't work with the IRA and it won't work with IS.
