I suppose Gautam will think that the British government would be so

Of course not! And Irish internment doesn't count because Ireland is British :)
Didn't the British just have shoot to kill orders with the IRA..even though
they were citizens?
It seems there was a 'shoot to kill' policy at least some of the time although how official it was is in doubt. Certainly the efforts to cover it up extended quite high - but some people were tried and convicted for it too.
