If you take the IRA as an example, breaching Irish peoples human rights resulted in the Birmingham 6 and the Guilford 4 spending over 20 years in person. Internment camps used for the IRA or suspected IRA members resulted in more of an anti British sentiment amongst Irish people who weren't in the IRA which resulted in more innocent Irish people feeling prosecuted for doing nothing which resulted in more people becoming easier pickings for recruitment.
What stopped the IRA was talking......

Well said Niamh, and I think many tend to forget we have faced terrorism here before without feeling the need to strip everyone of their rights and protections.
