This is the pink sky syndrome Someone decides that they need to divert attention to or form a subject. So they declare that the sky should be pink, and the problem is X groups fault, and it is important that it be taken care of. At first no picks up on it, but over time it gains momentum, as causes need it is picked up. As in any oft repeated lie, it becomes accepted as truth. Then the senate and congress get involved, there are hearings, studies, funding for more studies. And this takes on a life of its own. It becomes an industry unto itself. The media loves the cause. Celebs do benefits, concerts. The mindless masses flock to the fold, bleating the word of the leaders.... And the few sane people that understand, say "hey, guys, ahh, the sky has many colors, always has, like blue, red, orange, gray.." The masses proclaim them to be the nutters..
No, but it sounds like you do. Unfortunately, the guys we pick up and send to Gitmo aren't clearly labeled and don't come with instructions on what to do with them. It's an ambiguous problem. Turns out that finding a solution to an ambiguous problem requires thinking critically, which is like, totally gay. So yeah, I can understand your nuke 'em all attitude.
Fantastic post. It is nice to be able to see why most of these guys were picked up, and what the disposition is for many
