When stats just don’t add up

When stats just don’t add up

1 in 7 return to militant ways – that’s what I’m told in the New York Times – a study shows that reactivity back into nasty ways happens this often. I wonder how they figured that one out – a terrorist census? Did they do a door to door somewhere and poll it?

Get out of Guantanamo and run back to Pakistan re-enlist – I suppose if there was any real validity in a nonesensical stat like that it would hardly be surprising would it?

Grab someone – terrorist or not, fly them away, stuff em in a prison, treat them like sub-humans, take away all rights and then release them  – I don’t think it takes a genius to figure out what the possible reactions to that might be.

If they were known terrorists then why  were they released? Isn’t that point of this Gulag – keep the bad guys contained?  It doesn’t stack up – they got no rights basically so it’s not like they got let out on a technicality – so how’d they get out?
