Understanding and knowing your enemy is always important. Does one track individuals.. or does one instead focus on where they are building up for their next efforts?

Omar Khadr's compensation divides Canadians
Reports that the government is planning to apologize to former Guantanamo Bay prisoner Omar Khadr and pay him $10.5 million in compensation has prompted stro...
Canada had a convicted terrorist who killed an American Soldier and the hand grenade blinded another. What did he get? An apology for being kept in Guantanamo Bay and nine million dollars an out-of-court settlement. The left takes care of terrorist types.https://youtu.be/qGG2KrwQCM4

To make matters worse, the Canadian Soldier can't receive a $50,000 settlement because he makes too much money. He lost a leg in Afghanistan and he has 86% nerve damage to his remaining leg. The terrorist gets nine million dollars US in an out-of-court settlement. This shows how disjointed some governments are with paying terrorist but not taking care of their wounded Veterans.https://globalnews.ca/news/4003755/injured-veteran-edmonton-town-hall-justin-trudeau/
Injured veteran that questioned Trudeau during Edmonton town hall says ‘enough is enough’
Brock Blaszczyk had no idea he'd get to ask a question at Thursday evening's town hall with the prime minister. But when the retired corporal was offered the chance, he accepted immediately.

Don't let anyone back who is known to have volunteered to serve with Islamic State. Right now we have a national screaming match going on over semi-automatic rifles and the 2nd Amendment, and here is talk of letting people who volunteered to fight for a truly evil organization involved in terrorism and atrocities against civilians back into the West. No thanks. These aren't the neighbors I'm looking for.
The WaPo article author seems to consider allowing known IS members back into the United States to be an acceptable or normal thing to do. Such an idiotic viewpoint would consistent with the perspectives of the open-borders crowd.
However, the GWU study linked to in the article does state the following: "In the U.S., traveling to a foreign country
in pursuit of joining a designated foreign terrorist
organization (FTO) has constituted a federal criminal
offense under the material support statute (18 USC
§ 2339A and 2339B) since its adoption in the mid1990s.
Historically, this law has been interpreted
broadly (e.g., providing one’s self, in the form of travel,
to a designated FTO is classified as material support).
Prosecutors are given substantial leeway, and those
tried under the statute are almost always convicted."
That's good. However, this problem of returning IS members is exactly why the US should have sought to inflict massive casualties on IS / IS ISIL / ISxx back when they appeared, from the reports in the media at least, to have been in something like a maneuver-phase. One way to ensure that an IS volunteer never returns to the West to commit an act of terrorism is to ensure that they remain where they fought forever.
