The post does point out an intertesting side effect of these prisons, though irrellevant to the obvious questions these detentions bring up, it is one I had not considered. I just dont know if it makes the situation slightly worse....or slightly better in my mind. I am sure there are a few people who are alive today because they are held in prison, does this in any way justify the imprisonment....likely not.
There are many reasons that can be used to place the prisons in a better light...ie:
information gathering
risk management
political leverage
threat assesment
or even just a tool in this "War on Terror"
But to attempt to claim the use of prisons as a means to protect the prisoners from persecution....seems a bit desperate in my opinion.
