Your suggestion, however well intentioned, would do more to discourage wide support than increase it. <br /><br />All the issues are not the same, for instance, whatever of any wrongs with McGeough&#39;s imprisonment he is not Interned but Price is. <br /><br />Similarly, a power struggle between prisoners and prison authorities over strip searches may not attract the same sympathy as the repatriation of Campbell.
