I'm not saying I like hearing that 1 in 7 people released from America's prisons returns to terrorism (which is hard to believe because a decent percentage of the people incarcerated for terrorism in foreign countries weren't even caught by American forces; Americans paid a bounty to shady militants who brought in people claiming they were terrorists), but comparatively speaking, we have a much bigger, more deadly problem in the recidivism rate for drug offenders than we do with terrorists. Especially considering half of the people arrested for terrorism weren't terrorists beforehand and were turned into terrorists by our use of "enhanced interrogation techniques."
Sorry. This report doesn't scare me. Guantanamo still needs to be shut down.
