U.S. guards call Gitmo detainee a ‘good kid,’ could be radicalized if not released.»

Two reports written by Canada’s Department of Foreign Affairs reveal that “U.S. soldiers holding Omar Khadr believe the detained Canadian is a ‘good kid‘ who is not only “salvageable” but actually runs the risk of becoming a radical if he stays in Guantanamo Bay.” Foreign Affairs officials themselves described Khadr as a “likeable, funny and intelligent young man,” sentiments shared by “U.S. soldiers charged with guarding Mr. Khadr.”

1. Wasn't that the point?

Since we obviously aren't extracting real intelligence, the next reason to keep someone in a Military prison is to bend them into some other shape.

3. I dunno; at this point, do we really 'need' to create more terraists?

I think the US has done a more than adequate job of that.
