| TUNIS: Terrorism experts from 16 Arab states met here on Wednesday to discuss methods through which people involved in terrorist acts can be rehabilitated and helped back into mainstream society. The two-day gathering is the idea of the council of Arab interior ministers, which is based in the Tunisian capital, and will focus on “ways and possibilities of reintegrating and rehabilitating” those involved in terrorism. The experts will also review the threat posed by Osama Bin Laden’s Al Qaeda network in the Arab world and the role of “false fatwas” in shaping terrorist thinking, a spokesman for the council said. Morocco, Iraq, Oman, Djibouti, Somalia and Comoros were not represented at the beginning of the conference, where Mohammed Ali Kuman, the council’s secretary general, denounced the persistence of terrorism in the Arab world. It was, he said, “a wound that bleeds daily” a reference to deadly attacks in Iraq, Morocco, Algeria and Lebanon. Kuman also deplored the deteriorating situation in the Palestinian territories, which he blamed on Israeli “state terrorism”, and criticised unnamed media outlets for providing a soapbox to extremist Islamist factions. The meeting decided that the experts would submit recommendations on the issue at the annual conference of the council of Arab interior ministers in January 2008 in Tunis. |

| #7 "methods through which people involved in terrorist acts can be rehabilitated" Shoot them. (Though stabbing, hanging, feeding to sharks, etc., are perfectly acceptable substitutes, in a pinch.) "and helped back into mainstream society" Bury then in the concrete used to make sidewalks and highways - they'll be "mainstreamed" all day. |

A “two-day gathering” to understand that “reintegrating and rehabilitating” terrorists involves nothing more than a .45 caliber bullet per each, go figure. “Catch and Release” debates notwithstanding. |
