Hi Ken,

One reason the IRA decided to pursue a peaceful path is because their upper 
echelons were infiltrated by MI6 informants - it took 20 odd years but was 
successful in the end. So you are absolutely right, intelligence is the key 
to winning any battle.

But where you are dead wrong, is in imagining that ANY Guantanimo inmates have 
any current intelligence worth learning. 

In your little "test" for us ("How to rescue a loved one") I'd suggest the 
best strategy would be to ask the authorities to release the captured 
terrorist to live in my house for 3 days (with appropriate measures to ensure 
my safety!!). Realisation of the effects of particular aberrant behaviour 
(which terrorism is a form) has been proved to be effective in rehabilitating 
offenders. 

Cheers

Deri
