Centauri's Thoughts

Hmmmm, we now learn that Saudi Arabia has a re-education program for extremists, to teach them not to kill and murder.

Since the 2003 bombings in Riyadh that killed dozens there have been no major attacks in the kingdom, they point out.

Libya is using a similar philosophy of religious re-education, moving away from brutal treatment of militants in jails, and Pakistan is also looking at it.

The program focuses on religious re-education for young men, all in their late teens to early 30s, captured while engaged in terrorist activities.

Of the 218 people who have taken part, only nine have since been rearrested after trying to rejoin al Qaeda, Saudi officials told CNN.

My question is: why are we only hearing about this now, especially in light of learning that some previously released Gtmo detainess are back fighting against us again.
