Well, Duh: Saudis Admit "Rehabilitating" Terrorists Not Always Effective

They'll cut your hand off for stealing, chop your head off for homosexuality, but join al Qaeda and you get "rehabilitated". Our "friends", the Saudis:

Nine graduates of an influential Saudi rehabilitation program for former jihadists, including some who had been imprisoned at Guantánamo Bay, have been arrested for rejoining terrorist groups since the program started in 2004, Saudi officials said Monday....

Hundreds of men have passed through the Saudi program, and it has been viewed as a model for similar efforts elsewhere.

Here's a great idea: let's close Guantanamo and send Saudi citizens back to the Islamic Kingdom for "rehabilitation"!
