The best way to me is get an agreement with Jordan not to abuse his rights and get shut of him.

We've already got that. What the problem is, is that when they put him on trial again, the evidence they will use against him will have come from abusing the rights of other (i.e. torturing them).

He is a despicable individual, but I wonder if keeping him in a maximum security nick as long as we can would be better than deporting him anyway, at least if we have him under control he can't foment discontent and terrorist actions by others.

I haven't, but I thought I'd read somewhere that he was under a form of house arrest under terror legislation, but without actually having been convicted. Having looked into it further, it seems that he's in detention, but house arrest is the likely outcome if and when he has to be released from detention: Here.
