Nobody, not even Cheney or Rumsfeld, has argued that the experience of Gitmo or Abu Ghraib reformed any actual terrorists. On the contrary, every documentary shows staff of those places cynically saying 'if they weren't terrorists when they got here, they are now'. If 12% were terrorists after their release, it is likely that a much smaller percentage were so initially. --- Just because they're good at propaganda doesn't mean we have to be good at stupid. -Marty Kaplan _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
