How about we reprogram them? Click and read!
(CNSNews.com) - Australia is mulling the possibility of trying to "reprogram" captured terrorists by getting clerics or other influential figures to challenge their interpretations of Islamic teachings.
Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said the tactic, being used in several countries, was an attempt "to persuade extremists and terrorists who have been held in prison to change their point of view and to understand that it's not the Islamic way to kill, it's not the Islamic way to murder."

Federal Police Commissioner Mick Keelty said that:
..."deprogramming" was being practiced in various forms in countries including Indonesia, Singapore, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Britain.
He cited a case of a former senior operative in Jemaah Islamiah (JI), a Southeast Asian affiliate of al Qaeda, who had been "turned" and was now used by Indonesian law enforcement authorities in a bid to re-educate jailed terrorists.
Wouldn't that be humane? How could even the left oppose this? After all, the left is a master of mass indoctrination and programming of its own nonsense into the minds of populations all over the world. I'd like to see the left oppose something they themselves practice.
Imagine the possibilities. The human brain is, after all, malleable. We've seen people go from leftist dogmatist to moderate conservative. We've seen the left bring in "sensitivity training" and the "teaching of tolerance" and all that. Why not do it with people who are both intolerably dangerous and worthless to humanity the way they're currently programmed? I say, death to those who invent and enforce Jihadic programming but, on a case-by-case basis, let's deprogram and reprogram the terrorist minions to become counterterror agents against their former theocratic tyrannical Islamofascist oppressors.
Quite a provovative, controversial idea... but let's talk about it! Yes! Now here's another way to defeat the terrorists and perhaps the new, strengthening Axis power group as well!
Intelligence is, after all, a field we must continuously develop and implement in order to defend the Free World from those who hate freedom, democracy and the rule of law and who would stop at absolutely nothing to end these wonderful gifts to humanity.
What do you think? Hey, why not? Got better ideas? Why just kill 'em all when you can fix them and make them useful against the enemy?
Otherwise, they're just going to blow themselves up... in crowded public places!
