Um...that seems kind of the opposite of logical. You want her locked up when she's psychotic, not when she's cured. I agree with you about the recurrence thing - she doesn't seem like a great candidate for managing her own mental health. And for the most part, mentally ill criminals are generally kept institutionalized until they are stable and there's a reasonable assurance that they're not going to relapse. Which, in many cases, amounts functionally to life imprisonment. But if they are shown to be sane and capable of managing their sanity, I have no problem with releasing them. We release criminals all the time once they've served their sentences, knowing there's a risk of recidivism.

We can safely assume Ossami Bin Laden is pretty detached from reality. He's damn sure he's going to heaven for acts which we would deem insane, and cruel. I don't hear anyone objecting to clamoring for his blood.

No, he seems quite sane to me. Extreme, but sane. I don't know why we can "safely assume" that he's detached from reality. He has a pretty strong grasp of realilty, he just wants a different reality where the US gets out of the dar al-Islam. Apples and oranges, dude.
