I watched coverage of this on Al Jazeera English, but I found an equivalent video which covers the same center and program.

I don't really know how to react to this step by Saudi Arabia, but it really seems like another form of their policy to sedate and control the populace and most important of all make it clear to the outside world that it is countering fundamentalist terrorism. The Al Jazeera report went indepth on the counter-terrorist component of Saudi Arabia.

But this program is almost like a halfway house for curing terrorism by making these individuals submit utterly to the state, which provide finical help, jobs and apartment space. Everything is suddenly forgiven, one of them actually claimed that he was a victim of the suicide bomb that he himself detonated, that he did know that was going to happen, that he thought he would die fighting the enemies of Islam. That's just inexcusable, they didn't know? What did they expect? They would go to Iraq and pelt the Americans with rocks?

I can just imagine the disgust people in the west would feel seeing former terrorists playing PES 2008 on PS2, enjoying fine dining, drawing pictures and living in absolutely immaculate conditions. The defense is that these people were wholly ignorant before. But I simply cannot agree to that.

I really don't know what to think.

Call me when the Kingdom stops financing radical Mosques and Madrasahs in Western countries.

This is obviously a PR stunt for the Americans. Come on... ART rehab? Who else but the Americans would buy this.

what a load of manure. ok everybody, group hug and then we'll all sing Kumbayah.
