I don't think so but even if it is on the table "caught" and "terrorist" need to be very carefully defined.

If "caught" means convicted and "terrorist" means bomb maker or airline pilot with intent to crash a plane into skyscrapers it may be a discussion worth having. If "caught" means arrested or "terrorist" means gave $5 to an Islamic Medical Charity that turns out to have been shady it isn't even close to worth it on a practical level without even considering the principles and general human rights aspects.

My guess is somewhere in between but with people with as weak grasp of the language as the NSA seem to have I would be very careful.
