Charges of thinking about a terrorist attack, without any evidence of ever having communicated such a thought to anybody, is going several steps too far.

Personally, I have difficulty with imprisoning people before they commit a crime on the basis that they might be going to. This kind of prevention certainly works, in a sense. If you locked up the entire population, for example, there would undoubtedly be no crime committed, except for crimes committed in prison.
