You really like semantics and splitting hairs...

You think typical "violent offenders" and "terrorists" are so similar that making the distinction is nothing more than splitting hairs?

How many violent offenders have you heard of that caused over $100 billion of damage and killed 3k people?

Those guys usually sue the government after they get out and win a ton of money. Why would you become a terrorist when you could get a payday?

That wasn't my vein of thought at all Paul.

It was more a connection that if nonviolent people to go to a facility largely to contain violent criminals and then become violent. That it's not unreasonable to conclude the possibility that if a nonviolent person goes to a camp largely for terrorists, they would be more likely to become terrorists or more sympathetic to the idea.

I guess that depends on when they re let out (the becoming violent thing).

Most non violent people will not fall into the violent rage thug crowd in prison.. They will enter the 'keep to yourself' crowd.

I was under the impression that the prisoners held in Gitmo don't get to hang out with each other in the yard.

I thought they were all in isolation.

Or become terrorists after witnessing the evils America is doing to innocent people like them.




If that's how it worked then we'd have new terrorists everytime an innocent man got released from prison. But we don't because that's not how it works.

Those guys were terrorists all along.

Keep a country in a perpetual state of war and fear and you can actually get the people of the country to volunteer to give away their rights without you even having to ask for them.
