Amazing how now we have a terrorist attack in Paris, and French police can find terror cells, and now Turkey can find them too.

Your link indicates they have been finding them all year and last year as well.

Yes they have, but quite frankly if they are suspected terrorists, what good is just deporting them?
You are just telling them try again or try elsewhere.
I get it. It is  no win position.
Just because they are "suspected" does not make them a terrorist, but just deporting them is not the 100% correct answer either, imo.


Obviously, they should be detained, and if found to be non-suspect, released, and removed from the tally, because you are just inflating numbers to make it look like you are accomplishing something.

I need some clarification. What exactly makes one a "terrorist"? It is easy to define one who has committed an act of terror to label them a terrorist but what of a person who has committed no such act. I would have no problem labeling someone who has engaged in a training program as a suspected terrorist.  But if they had attended a recruiting conference and walked away? Read a book?  Visited a website? What do you do with one who has done any of these things that are short of being a crime? Lock them up forever? 

If an occupying force were to take over the US and bring in a civilian population that displaces our native population, I could see myself potentially engaging in acts against them (if I weren't killed in the initial fighting). Is it enough to admit that to declare me a "terrorist"?

if the OP is meant to imply that we have never done any rounding up of suspected terrorists here, that is completely false.

I'm thinking that could become a real scenario.
