Perhaps this conversation is taking place right now as former Guantanamo inmates are being “rehabilitated” through a combination of art therapy and intensive recreation at a Saudi facility.
According to the New York Post, the program is a cross between a daycare and terrorist training camp.
“In between tasty picnic-style meals of rice and lamb and snacks of Snickers along with dips in the pool, participants practice Arabic calligraphy, produce dizzying Jackson Pollack rip-offs and imagine the aftermath of car bombings in crayon.”
The concept hasn’t been that successful. Well, maybe we just need to re-define what “successful” means.
Graduates of the program have certainly succeeded at reestablishing their terrorist careers. One graduate, Said Ali al Shihri — a former Guantanamo Bay detainee who now heads up al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. The same group that tried to blow up an airliner on Christmas.
Maybe al Shihri will be the next commencement speaker.
