[ExI] LA Times: Rehabbing militants in Saudi Arabia

[Bryan Bishop]

Are Guantanamo psychologists better programmers than the religious? Does 
their mindwipe go deep enough? Or is the rule of thumb now going to be: 
once susceptible, always susceptible?

I wonder if anybody else realizes that this is government reprogramming 
the (deeply) religious. If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would run 
with that one.

Six weeks? Is that all it takes?
