If our security services believe that they can handle the repatriation of these young men, I believe we should trust their judgment in this. We cannot take away their citizenship, it's against international law... so we use them to our advantage. They will never be trusted 100%, but you know what they say about keeping your friends close and your enemies closer.

Valid point. My problem is that - historically - 'our security forces' have proved wholly inept, so could they 'handle' their repatriation? Or will these 'prodigals' - like so many thousands of others before them - simply abscond and disappear once here?
