MY LOGIC WITH REGARDS TO RELEASING ADDITIONAL PRISONER ABUSE PHOTOS

I agree that al-Qaida which we supported in Afghanistan and the Wahabi Sharia law is the ultimate in control. Evil alliances have been in all country's history with it often ending up a bite me in the butt later in the relationship. The thing which baffles me is:

1. Guantanamo is held up as a recruiting tool for al-Qaida and I don't know of any pictures from there which show abuse

2. There has been instances of pictures and Koran in the toilet being used to show the evil west and probably used for recruitment if the above statement about Guantanamo is true

3. Therefore, releasing more pictures would help al-Qaida recruit which would enhance their ability to prolong or increase the effectiveness of their war against people who like music, free speech and other affronts to Sharia law. Mark Steyn, awhile ago, was interviewed by a Berkely history professor and a Berkely international studies person. A very logical interaction. I was very pleasantly surprised at the very interesting interaction at

which points out the demographic shift and the fact that al-Qaida can win without a military victory through the demographic change occuring in the world.

4. For us to diminish the power of recruitment using the pictures, one would need to make assumptions:

a. al-Qaida wants peace, not Sharia law imposed on the world - check bin-Ladens Fatwa in the 90s

b. a group which slices off people's heads, runs drills into a human's head actually wants to let everyone live happily in spite of different beliefs and life styles

That makes as much sense to me as thinking that the Palestinians want peace when their history is that they are committed to the eradication of Israel. They effectively smuggle in weapons and rockets, but not food, medical supplies, educational materials. We can tell what a man is committed to by his actions if we look at them. The best weapon terrorism has against us is our desire to be good people who are seen as good people. The biggest detriment we do to ourselves is act like we know what we are doing and act in a manner which is inconsistent with, "You cannot take care of anyone else if you don't take care of yourself." financally and militarily both here and abroad.
