Except for letting the press in and releasing photos that were open to interpretation, I think the US is doing the exact right thing with these detainees. The "coddling" is having its effect. Please note: "Some of the younger ones in particular are loosening up in their interrogation," an officer said. "They're relating to the interpreters who speak their language and seem to be realizing we Americans are not as bad or scary as they thought we were."

This is the main reason they were brought to Gitmo, extended interrogation and deprogramming. Imagine their suprise when the infidels, the evil Americans, the minions of the great satan give them clean clothes, korans, a padre, medical care, orientation to mecca, decent food, etc. etc. This treatment totally upsets their belief system. They become completely disoriented, and more pliable.

The hard part is going to come down the road when their buddies start kidnapping people to force their release. In fact this has already begun.

Okay, fine. I have no problem with screwing with their heads. In fact, screwing with their heads is a noble cause. Which is PRECISELY why I have a problem with PSYCHOTHERAPY. No. Uh-unh. Not going for it.
