Solving Guantanamo

Last week, discussion in The Wheatsheaf  turned to solving the problem of Guantanamo Bay i.e. what do you do with around 250 presumably rabid anti-Western guys after you've closed down their prison?

 

One suggestion was to feed them, before release, with a drug which turned them into passive, peaceful, non-aggressive guys who thought that the Arabs' place in the world  was just as it should be.

 

I thought I had gone one better by suggesting that the drug should make them want to go back to their home countries and agitate for democratic government, the rule of law, freedom of speech, a bi-cameral legislature, an independent judiciary and equality under the law with an irresistible personal urge to hum the Star Spangled Banner.

 

The others thought my suggestion rather silly.
