They can read. I thought mostly they just memorized the Koran, maybe learned how to write their name. Twas it up to me, they'd get nothing but books on the US revolutionary war and the Constitution and Bill of Rights, in English, with no pictures. Maybe the Constitution and BoR could be in Arabic or whatever it is they read.
A man after my own heart! I would suspect that they are mighty happy to be "imprisoned" by the Americans. I also suspect that they think we are weak because of our "coddling" of them. They will be shown how wrong they are. God bless our Military and the job they do.
