We've never heard these people speak or discuss how they were radicalized in a court of law. Keeping it this way is useful to whom exactly?

Isn't it ironic that governments listen in and read your calls/emails but would rather shoot-to-kill than arrest and interrogate terrorists?

I'm assuming the point of fake suicide vests was "don't arrest me." Why play in to that?

Because, perhaps, at the time, law enforcement did not know them to be fake?

Shoot to incapacitate then? Explosion still likely when the person is killed. But you'd have to ask the experts.

Experts would tell you shooting to wound is unsafe and not smart.

Often taken to extremes, as we see in the myriad shootings of black youths in the US. Even w actual "tangos" (Boston being an exception.)

Sure. But going back to my earlier point: tactics that could be potentially useful are instead labelled cowardly, unpatriotic etc.

I'd like to see more of them tried & convicted in courts of law. But the media often hype their platforms in covering them (eg. Breivik)

Ways they are being radicalized inside the country, their contacts in communities and State must be scrutinized publicly.

Totally agreed on that. But media has a ways to go to learn to cover these stories responsibly (ie. not amplifying radicalization.)

This is one of the dangers. Another is for experience to remain in the shadows and be perennially sensationalized. Think of trials of Nazis
